Katherine loves her mother and knows that Mrs. Green-Langford treats her as an adult and respects her interests and privacy. Elizabeth is a successful doctor, just like her husband.
She studied at Melbourne University and after graduation from there in the early 1980s she became a flying doctor. She enjoyed working with children most of all, that’s why in 1997 she changed her specialty for a pediatrician. Elizabeth achieved impressive results in that area. She explored various childhood illnesses, including such difficult health disorders as autism, ADHD, and others.
As you see, Mrs. Langford spent a lot of time, working on kids’ diseases. But she was a great parent, too. Except for Katherine, she has a daughter Josephine with her husband Stephen Langford.
