A dramatised documentary by Robert Barr

Night and day, around the clock, for fifty years, Post Office coast stations have kept continuous watch for distress calls from ships.
'Medico' is a free service by means of which medical advice can be obtained in cases of illness or accident to anyone aboard a ship at sea.
Tonight's dramatised documentary shows how a man's life is saved when this service is put into operation.
