Formerly a GP/Anaesthetist. with experience in pathology, I now enjoy a less structured, freelance life. My articles appear in PathWay, the quarterly published by the Royal College of Pathologists. I’ve also had articles in the Medical Journal of Australia, Community Health Studies and Australian Clinical Review.
I’ve written in depth clinical articles (on geriatrics, dementia, delirium, headache, stroke, alcoholism, suicide, diabetes, bereavement, steroids, etc) for Medical Observer and Australian Doctor. My column on the history of medicine ran for 14 years in the latter.
In 1995, Gore and Osment published my Herpes Handbook, which I’ve since updated for Good Medicine. For Princeton Publishing (the client was CSL), I’ve written a booklet Landmarks in Australian Health and Medicine.
Since 1998, Dr Jim Leavesley and I have published three anthologies of light articles (What Killed Jane Austen? How Isaac Newton Lost His Marbles and Flies in the Ointment), all by HarperCollins. |
