Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Charles Langmaid graduated in medicine from the University of Wales in the summer of 1935. Eighteen months later, with the encouragement of Professor Lambert Rogers, Charles decided to embark on a shorter version of what today would be regarded as a 'gap year' by securing a short-term commission as a ship's surgeon, a not uncommon venture for those on the threshold of a medical career. Charles' three-month journey on MV Glengarry to the Far East was recorded meticulously in the form of a diary. While it is clear that Charles's clinical skills were not fully tested during the voyage, he considered the trip 'a most interesting and relaxing experience' that undoubtedly got his distinguished surgical career off to an invigorating start. |
