Xx, 1229 Pp. Black Cloth, Gilt. Fourth Edition, American Issue (1956). Volume I Only (Of Two). Lightly Used, Gilt Brilliant, No Marks. Per The Royal College Of Surgeons, George Grey Turner, After Work At King's College Hospital, London, And In Vienna, He Returned To Newcastle And Quickly Made His Name On The Staff Of The Royal Victoria Infirmary And As A Lecturer In The Medical School. He Also Built Up The Largest Surgical Practice In The North Of England By His Skill And Energy. Following Rutherford Morison, Whom He Always Revered As A Master, He Made His Own Notable Contribution To The Great Tradition Of Newcastle Surgery, Which Has Developed Independently Of Both London And Edinburgh. He Carried In His Head An Encyclopaedic Knowledge Of Modern Surgery, Knew Its Makers Personally And Surrounded Himself With Their Photographs And Writings From All Over The World. He Had The Courage To Give Up His Great Position At Newcastle, And To Become The First Director Of Surgery At The New British Postgraduate Medical School At Hammersmith In 1934. This Post, Which Carried A Professorship In The University Of London, Provided Him With Increased Scope As A Teacher And Operator; Without So Many Extraneous Pre-Occupations. He Held The Position, With Growing Usefulness And Distinction, Till The End Of The Second World War In 1945. His Work Attracted Young Men From All Over The World To Attend His Teaching. His Clinic Earned The Unique Distinction Of Being Twice Described In The British Journal Of Surgery: "Professor Grey Turner At The Postgraduate Medical School", 1937, 24, 595-600, And 1947, 34, 366-373, With Portraits And Select Bibliography.

At The College He Was A Hunterian Professor In 1928, Bradshaw Lecturer 1935, A Vice-President, 1937 And 1938, And Hunterian Orator In 1945. At The Royal Society Of Medicine He Was President Of The Sections Of Surgery And Proctology, And President-Elect Of The New Clinical Section At The Time Of His Death. He Was A Vice-President Of The British Medical Association, And Had Been President Of The Surgical Section At The New¬Castle Meeting.…
