Join us as we launch Kerry Breen's book Humanity in Medicine: The Life of Physician Dr Stanley Goulston.
In 1940, Dr Stanley Goulston joined the Australian Army. As the sole doctor to 1500 soldiers, he was sent to the Middle East where the Allied forces were fighting the Germans and Italians. His battalion was part of the iconic Rats of Tobruk during the famous siege. At Tobruk, he was awarded a Military Cross.
In 1947, he was appointed honorary physician to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney and one of Australia's first gastroenterologists and advanced the development of this speciality. With the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, he headed a long-lasting redesign of physician training.
He was admired for his humility, empathy and commitment to teaching. At 79, he completed a Master of Philosophy degree at Sydney University and taught narrative and poetry to doctors and medical students with the aim of fostering a more compassionate version of modern scientific medicine.
Author Kerry Breen is a retired physician/gastroenterologist whose passion is writing. His books include: Memoir of an Accidental Ethicist, So You Want to be a Doctor? and Good Medical Practice: Professionalism, Ethics and Law.
