by Rowan Nicks (Signed and inscribed by the author)
Royal Australasian College, Melbourne 1996 1st Edition
Hardcover, 22.5x16cms, 258pp.
An autobiography by Dr Rowan Nicks, born in New Zealand in 1913 and the first Antipodean to be made an Honorary Member of the Societe Internationale de Chirurgie. After World War II Nicks trained in cardio-thoratic surgery in London, and returned to NZ to help found the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Unit in Auckland. Soon followed his appointment as Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. Nicks pioneered many operations for congenital and valvular heart disease and following his retirement continued to teach surgery in many developing countries.
Both DW and book Fine or very near, lovely condition.
Note I use flash photography for all my book auctions but try my best to make them appear as true to life as possible.
