I have many memories of my years at Guy's.
The foremost, of course,was meeting a Guy's nurse, Janet, who is now my wife of 50 years and who has presented me with three wonderful children. We are now proud grandparents of six grandchildren---- all healthy & well.
Memories associated with people likely to be at the reunion include:
-- helping Malcolm Blacklee get home after 2nd M.B. An exciting trip!!
-- setting up a goal for Malcolm " Curly" Forsythe ( I swear he could not miss it!) in the United Hospital Cup Final (football) We lost 2-1, much to the dismay of our 3-4 supporters, one of whom was Prof.Hazelwood.
--visiting Thatchings after finals & being driven around in a Rolls Royce. I can't remember whose it was now but I know it wasn"t mine.
--my stay in the Old Hostel under the care of dear old Sophie & C,E,O Bill Hanwell
After a great pre-registration year at Southend General Hospital with Bill Hanwell, Chris Bird, Malcolm Blacklee & John Barker I obtained a Senior House Officer post in Orthopaedics & Casualty at Kingston Hospital under Mr, Freebody--- himself a Guy's man. A year later I went into General Practice in the Midlands before leaving for Canada in 1966, supposedly for one year to begin specialising.
Emigration strongly resembled my present golf game------ a series of disasters interrupted by the occasional miracle!! This would be a whole story in itself.
Following my year at the Hamilton Civic Hospitals I needed to find work in order to bring my family home, so I went into a Rural Practice--- initially is was Private Practice but later it was Nationalized.
Country Practice involved all areas of medicine--- delivering babies,Emergency Room Work, Assisting at Surgery & hospital work. I was also a Coroner. All very satisfying & enough stories to write a book.
(e,g. being called out to treat a sick racehorse). I retired 32 years later.
I have sung in the Canadian Orpheus Male Voice Choir & once in Opera. I don't do that anymore.
I play golf regularly. I have resumed violin lessons ( I played as a boy). I have a Russian maestro to teach me--- he is half my size so we get on well.
The rest of the time I can do what I want -- I just have to check with Janet to see if that's what I really want,
After all, she is a Nurse.
