Produktbeschreibung
60 years ago, being a medical student entailed some hair-raising encounters in the course of training like giving a general anaesthetic without help or instruction, simply because you were the only help available; or assisting in emergency surgery when there was nobody else available. Distinguished doctors thronged the corridors of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. Long after the war there was still a vivid memory of Burma and Libya. Find out why an elderly theatre orderly hinted darkly at "a doctor who got to Dunkirk four days ahead of the field hospital team". Get a new slant on the Penicillin story and read why the old NHS system in Edinburgh avoided "bed blockers". Here is an account of the almost explosive expansion of hospital medicine into ICUs - cardiac arrest teams, coronary care units, positive pressure ventilation, renal dialysis, etc. It was a time of medical progress and high morale.
Autorenporträt
Born into a family of potters in Stoke and apprenticed at 17, John Duncan attended the North Staffs Technical College and gained the Pottery Manager's Certificate. At 21 years, Duncan was made Works Manager of an old dinner & teaware factory employing 100 people. He was supposed to know all about earthenware manufacture. Inevitably, he was called on to fire an old bottle oven due to the untimely demise of the old fireman. The economic crisis following Suez closed the factory. Duncan left Stoke.
