by Dr James Markos and Paul A.C. Richards
Authors James Markos AM and Paul Richards AM have cleverly orchestrated a collection of articles from several contributors to bring life to the history of a medical (surgical) lectureship at the Launceston General Hospital. They outline how and why this lecture was started from a legacy left to the hospital by a past surgeon, Dr David Huish. Along the way, they gather insights into the life and career of Dr David Huish, with many anecdotes from colleagues who worked with him. They document the visiting lecturers up to the current year of publication, even before that lecture has been given!
There are other delights for those who appreciate history, including the summary by Dr Huish of the history of thoracic surgery from 1850s to 1990s, his contributions to the medical literature in 1955 & 1963, and the collection of his surgical instruments (which are displayed at the annual lecture and included as photos in this book).
