They shared many reminiscences about him with me. He ran a free medical clinic for some time in east-end Montreal open each Saturday. He also invented some specialized surgical equipment. A nurse who worked with him told me some nurses were terrified of him because he brooked no incompetence in life or death surgical situations. I imagine many of them are now deceased but there's likely a few left.Little Muddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100766559707970006noreply@blogger.com
