In my time I\u2019ve done my share of all that but a few weeks ago my medical education leapt ahead in an unlikely place \u2013 the Malvern Giant Flea Market.\u00a0 In a subsidiary role as my antique dealer wife\u2019s second opinion and general purposes porter, I rarely get to buy anything but, on this occasion, my eye was caught by a pair of medals on which serpents and staffs figured. A closer look disclosed one to be a medal commemorating the 1961 Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, <a href=\"http:\/\/livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk\/biogs\/E000586b.htm\">Frank Groves Ellis<\/a> (1925-2003). The other was awarded to Ellis when he was Lettsomian lecturer of the Medical Society of London in 1975.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I more or less knew who Hunter was and why the RCS should eponymise him. Lettsom was beyond me but should not have been: he was a Quaker physician and philanthropist. In 1774, he founded the society of which Ellis became President three years after he received the medal I had seen languishingly forlornly on a dealer\u2019s stand. I think I recall Frank Ellis as the surgeon who took me through my surgical viva for my Final MB in 1966 but I might have confused him with an equally terrifying Guy\u2019s surgeon of the time.\u00a0 Whether or not I owed him my medical career, it seemed cruel to leave his medals behind so I bought them and handed them over to the RCS Hunterian Museum curator, in the hope they might be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>I was saddened at the idea that, a few years after one\u2019s death, medals representing important milestones in a life might be consigned to a house clearer or \u2013 worse still \u2013stolen. My own medals are nowhere near the same calibre but I would like to think that one of my offspring or grand-offspring would at least use the 1966 Max Bonn medal from St Mary\u2019s Hospital as a paperweight. I can\u2019t now remember why I was given it, only that my friends insisted on calling me Max for a tiresome few weeks after it was announced.\u00a0 Scrubbing up better is my glittering CC de Silva medal from the Sri Lanka Paediatric Association.\u00a0 I remember giving my lecture in Colombo at a temperature and humidity both in the nineties, while dressed in full academic paraphernalia. As I was processing to the lectern with a phalanx of equally overdressed Sri Lankan dignitaries, an English pathologist in the audience, who subsequently went on to great things,\u00a0 whispered in my ear that I had my mortar board on back to front. I didn\u2019t even know mortar boards had a back and a front which just shows the difference between real academics and parvenus such as me.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the late Mr Ellis.\u00a0 His obituary in <a href=\"http:\/\/livesonline.rcseng.ac.uk\/biogs\/E000586b.htm\">Plarr\u2019s Lives of the Fellows Online<\/a> revealed that he was appointed transplant and vascular surgeon at Guy\u2019s in 1969.\u00a0 His obituarist described his harvesting a kidney from a patient on the South Coast by taking his entire team there in his car. It reminded me that, thirty years later, consultants weren\u2019t so hospitable or maybe their cars were smaller: when a team came from the paediatric ITU at St. Mary\u2019s to retrieve a patient with meningococcal sepsis from my unit in Banbury, the research registrars arrived an hour after the ambulance, having taken the train from Marylebone.\u00a0 Ellis was also stated to have financed the appointment of an anaesthetist to help lessen his waiting list. Any offers out there?\u00a0 He was described as upsetting committees and was regarded as professionally tactless rather than intentionally rude. Well, he was a surgeon after all.<\/p>\n<p>I tracked down his former secretary. She remembered a burglary from his Harley Street rooms but did not recall his medals being amongst the loot. Another possibility was that as his country place was in Worcestershire, not far from the flea market where they landed up, might they have been sold when it came under the hammer?\u00a0 As a postscript I also came across Anshul Raja, who was looking for sponsorship of his climb of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for the Guy\u2019s renal unit. His grandfather, Jagu Tamma was, he believes,\u00a0 the first Indian to undergo a renal transplant. It was carried out by Ellis in 1972 and when Mr Tamma died in 2002 he was one of the world\u2019s longest survivors of the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>So in the space of a week I have learned about Lettsom, the early days of renal transplantation in the UK, and the value of contacting secretaries if you want to find out something about an ex-consultant.\u00a0 Can I have some points towards revalidation please?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMJ bloggers are in the habit of going to exotic places to listen to exciting lectures.
