Harry Walker, 1918-1959: an illustration of the Mid-Twentieth Century history of anaesthesia. Middlesbrough, Edinburgh, Burma
- Abstract:
- I am writing a hybrid memoir-biography drawing on my father’s life. He, Harry Walker, was one of the earlier Fellows of the Faculty of Anaesthetists and when I contacted the College, I learned that he was unusual for his time in that he decided to become an anaesthetist while he was a medical student. I thought a summary of his career might be of interest to the History of Anaesthesia Society. I am a physician and my account lacks detail about anaesthetic techniques but I hope it illustrates the extraordinary events that young anaesthetists lived through in the mid-twentieth century.
