1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:08,880 Professor Derek Jeter being interviewed by Derek Hockaday on the 14th, I think it is 14th of February. 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,570 Well, Derek, you're a tremendous part of the medical school and that you've been involved with it for a long time. 3 00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:22,300 So let's start at the beginning. You came up as an undergraduate to Japan. 4 00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:27,610 Yes, 1959. Was that a Nuffield scholarship? 5 00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:31,140 Uh, I was, uh, over next. Yes. Great. 6 00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:41,700 And was that still with Percy O'Brien? Because, as you said, the use of that period of. 7 00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:48,920 Perskie is an absolute wonderful tutor. Uh, because in those days. 8 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:58,850 It was very often the one to one choice. Sometimes there were two of us, um, we read essays. 9 00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:10,450 Have they tended to shreds? Um, but my choice was always between six and seven. 10 00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:18,710 And at seven o'clock, he would always produce a show for just before 7:00 so that he could get out of the senior home for dinner. 11 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:26,590 So he is, um. And he was very kind hearted, he was very supportive. 12 00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:31,210 Um. And you just had to put up with his. 13 00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:38,400 Sense of humour, um, which would now be regarded as testing, is pretty correct. 14 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:46,410 Uh. Um, he was very bright and, um. 15 00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:51,780 He is one of these. People didn't do this in academic life. 16 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:54,320 OK, who was? 17 00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:06,030 Have had a very destructive mind, but I found it quite difficult to be constructed in such a sense and therefore these publications were quite small. 18 00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:13,620 Um, but, uh, yes, he was a lively character competition, it was. 19 00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:17,490 Um, not always pleasant, the great, 20 00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:29,530 she said they usually had your first three years of the beer and then you did one year of on a school of animal physiology. 21 00:02:29,530 --> 00:02:35,180 Yes. Had they reformed it by that time? No. So what did you think of that? 22 00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:39,510 Um, well, we knew the difference. That was how it was. 23 00:02:39,510 --> 00:02:45,280 And we enjoyed a great year and. 24 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,250 Um. Just there is an enormous privilege you gave to to have people like. 25 00:02:53,250 --> 00:03:00,070 Uh, within the parameters of professor physiology, um. 26 00:03:00,070 --> 00:03:08,370 And David Matthews said there was a, uh, vaguely akin to, uh. 27 00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:20,180 Sherrington. Um, and then also we had, um, uh, Dan Cunningham, um, Brian Boyd and respiratory physiology, uh, yeah. 28 00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:29,580 It was a very, uh, stimulating environment to, uh, to study that, uh. 29 00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:42,840 Most if you're not part of this group, you did two terms of, um, pathology and. 30 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:56,890 Uh, pharmacologic bacteriology and then most people in the April 12 to 15 technical and a few of the stay, I wanted to stay. 31 00:03:56,890 --> 00:04:04,930 But I wanted to do. The adoption of this event would do, um. 32 00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:16,040 If I think we did that first and four terms for schools, you could do I mean, I did that way back and I mean, I'm ten days days. 33 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,560 I did it. But you could do the part about it first and then do the full terms of schools. 34 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:32,100 And that's that's what I did find. Um, and I have to say that one of the major reasons for doing it was because, um. 35 00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:37,290 The first several schools, the fall was, of course. 36 00:04:37,290 --> 00:04:48,510 Yeah, I was very active on the river ride and a Secretary Gates at that work and. 37 00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:58,680 Were you a Cox? I was. Yeah. And, um, uh, was also involved in a little bit of research in the respiratory physiology part. 38 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,800 So that was the reason for, uh, carrying that. 39 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:09,210 But pass back for us. And did your research lead to anything or was it just a bit of work? 40 00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:13,030 I didn't it wasn't a degree registered thing. That's great. 41 00:05:13,030 --> 00:05:18,840 Um, and the respiratory thing, they were quite metabolic in a way. 42 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:23,260 I was you was very breathing or was it to do with whatever it is? 43 00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:31,830 Um. Um, I began to fall silent behind the Brandenburg's equations, which I found very difficult. 44 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:40,440 It's, uh, you know, and then what made you decide to do clinical in Oxford? 45 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:52,140 Um. I think really the total going to London didn't seem particularly attractive. 46 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:57,870 Um, and, uh, stay in Oxford. 47 00:05:57,870 --> 00:06:08,360 Where that is, we have some groups having spent just three years here, um. 48 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:20,800 It's much more attractive, so. I think I recognise some of the, um, teachers in the technical school that. 49 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:34,990 Early stage as being the. Very, very stimulating and, um, you know, I just enjoyed it, and I think that Percy, uh, 50 00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:48,060 brought a great interest in on the 12 and of course one actually came to the US, which were very much interested in other departments and. 51 00:06:48,060 --> 00:06:56,140 And so I think there are a number of reasons that made you want to stay in some cases during your preclinical ahead, 52 00:06:56,140 --> 00:07:00,040 Ullico been doing demonstrations of patients. 53 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,880 Um, he had, um, we had one, 54 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:11,290 a finical physiology or a chemical that's in the lecture quite often to tend 55 00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:18,910 to kind of open to that kind of nasty or nasty as applied to clinical lesson. 56 00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:24,600 And then we had people like Francis Caird. And cook. 57 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:32,200 Um. Those are the two I remember most did it's a chemical physiology. 58 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:40,900 So, uh. There you all will be exposed a little bit to some of the teachers, 59 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:48,730 thing I forgot to mention was what did you think of the entrance procedure to Pennbrook and to the university's, uh. 60 00:07:48,730 --> 00:08:05,520 Uh. Well, in those days, if you wanted to apply to Oxford and Cambridge, uh, you did A-levels again two years and then you stayed on for 36. 61 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:13,680 Um, uh, I was being encouraged at school to. 62 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:20,530 Talks which surrounded the thirty six so tried for. 63 00:08:20,530 --> 00:08:27,740 Um, oxer, I think, largely because I lost my schoolmasters. 64 00:08:27,740 --> 00:08:37,320 Um, were Oxford graduates from Cambridge? I remember a few from Cambridge, but once you had those two friends who were probably from Oxford. 65 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:45,060 Uh. The application form me has to, um. 66 00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:50,670 This colleges, in order of preference, at least for about half a dozen. 67 00:08:50,670 --> 00:09:00,480 Mm hmm. Uh, but I have no idea. You know, I was the first member of the family that even think about going to, um. 68 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:15,150 But, um, it was my history, my school, who, um, was very interested in, uh, and I got home very well and even in the sciences, 69 00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:21,900 um, we often used to talk in the corridors until he graduated from Pembroke. 70 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,170 Mm hmm. Um, and the current master plan. 71 00:09:25,170 --> 00:09:34,440 But I can tell you very well the kind of history he said, I will write on your behalf. 72 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:42,770 And so I came up for an interview. Um. They discussed, for example, issues. 73 00:09:42,770 --> 00:09:48,650 What they don't see is, uh, came straight from school. 74 00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:55,800 Living in the college for a week. Uh, which is very smart. 75 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:04,170 You have to cross to quadrangles in wins and wethers to get into the bars and the. 76 00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:10,650 Um, and. Um, it is early December. 77 00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:17,740 Yes, it was cold and wet. The examination schools don't seem to say the least. 78 00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:24,480 Um. I think they did exams Thursday, Friday. 79 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,560 We have about until Sunday evening. When a list of top military. 80 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:42,830 To, um. Indicate who has being invited to stay for the practical examinations, um, on Monday and Tuesday. 81 00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:48,790 Well, I my name is on the list, so you stayed on. 82 00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:55,930 And did the fact that in some parts of. The is. 83 00:10:55,930 --> 00:11:01,540 And the. Uh. 84 00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:09,690 The Science Show is. 310 professors of colleges listed. 85 00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:22,350 I for temporary less and was more constructive, is infuriating to ask you about the interview in a large. 86 00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:26,950 So to ask you about the practical use of for. 87 00:11:26,950 --> 00:11:37,060 Yes, but that's. Um, just came round during one of the past four days and asked me a few questions. 88 00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:41,900 It didn't last very long. Um, no more than ten minutes. 89 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:49,160 And then, um, uh, John Walker is here. 90 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:59,950 You know, he came out and said, would I please, uh, come down to us for an interview at five in the was finished at five. 91 00:11:59,950 --> 00:12:06,780 That was a terrible experience because it goes against the principles and is absolutely shocking, was read. 92 00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:15,870 I had a raincoat, but it's quite a sad story to lose and I rain soaked in drag. 93 00:12:15,870 --> 00:12:23,070 And just really awful that I had to have an interview in this state until the second sat down in this room, 94 00:12:23,070 --> 00:12:27,810 there was a fire going and he said, just take off your raincoat. 95 00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:43,200 Really, don't worry about being said he's opposed to share your life with one another in which you are clinically is not. 96 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:52,980 Sixty three to sixty six. Yeah. So I don't know who's the director of clinical studies and how did you enjoy those? 97 00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:59,060 It was it was enormous fun. Uh. 98 00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:09,470 Because like taking full turns for schools, I came in with the base more than 10 times in September. 99 00:13:09,470 --> 00:13:16,240 There were. Five or six of us may be up to this team, Jones. 100 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:28,800 Uh, um. And I remember the the introductory course, Feiwel, which is four weeks at that time, I'm very much hands on. 101 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,150 And we were told we were being split in. 102 00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:45,520 To the, um, on how often do, um, a surgical firm, the other half of this would do a medical and then we swap out, 103 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:51,760 but so they were just I think in the end they were four of us on the surgical front. 104 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:59,850 And so. They're just. And you were allowed to do far more now than what they do? 105 00:13:59,850 --> 00:14:09,940 Uh, yes, because when you say that you had a smooth entry because of the setting, it wasn't that big the other half, was it? 106 00:14:09,940 --> 00:14:24,670 Well, it was about. Um, usually mid 20s, yes, somewhere between 23 and 26, so, uh, we were the two best students in Germany, but. 107 00:14:24,670 --> 00:14:28,690 Right. So there was quite a big difference. Mm hmm. 108 00:14:28,690 --> 00:14:35,030 And by that time, Pickering had got going. And what was the sort of feeling of the Pickering Witt's relationship? 109 00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:47,480 Um. It rapidly became obvious that they didn't speak to me, that I was never on. 110 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,770 Uh, the can we just oppressiveness. 111 00:14:51,770 --> 00:15:02,390 So I really didn't know them very well in the course of the afternoon, technical meetings, which was called the Witches. 112 00:15:02,390 --> 00:15:13,590 Yeah, that was uh, uh, that was because Professor Woods, um, sort of on occasion when he, uh, up here. 113 00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:22,470 Still, there is usually, um, telling nature I take on the religious right. 114 00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:30,360 There's no precedent. Yeah. And did you get into an V12, in fact? 115 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:37,390 Um. Yes. I mean, uh, I thoroughly enjoyed being has. 116 00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:43,180 On the idea and then subsequently did the S.H. 117 00:15:43,180 --> 00:15:54,100 And, um, particularly during the election year, if you not enough in politics and with sheer candour and, 118 00:15:54,100 --> 00:16:04,590 um, and so had their own, that she was much higher than the rest of us because, um. 119 00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:11,390 And the. Afternoons of thirty five, and very often, 120 00:16:11,390 --> 00:16:24,020 if I had time go along that corridor up to the doctor and read the blood films and the battle lines, maybe to kill him. 121 00:16:24,020 --> 00:16:27,870 And then she apparently would come along, um. 122 00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:42,480 Show me what nonsense I so that was a very interesting time, not very much enjoyed that, but of course I also enjoyed the, um, the gastroenterology. 123 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,630 And so should the games, uh, the 12 interests. 124 00:16:49,630 --> 00:16:58,990 And it was towards the end of that year, the next election that she attended and asked me if I'd like to be film. 125 00:16:58,990 --> 00:17:04,750 And I said, yes, I'd love to. So she said, well, we need to find some money. 126 00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:17,010 It was a week afterwards. The Sydney True called me down to his office and said what I like to do it, he said, yes, I would, but not in. 127 00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:30,810 Ask you the same question, and I said yes. He said, I don't think she'll ever find you Cinefamily within a few weeks, uh, and I never had any more. 128 00:17:30,810 --> 00:17:42,270 And so that's why I went to and told you, isn't it interesting what determines things and is happenstance. 129 00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:46,290 Right? Was there a guy called Jeff? Yes. 130 00:17:46,290 --> 00:17:51,960 And what was your view of him and his place? Jeff was, uh. 131 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,370 I mean, he was a scientist. And. 132 00:17:57,370 --> 00:18:10,300 He was. He was quite gruff, but I just got off the phone with his, uh, uh, you know, when I did get going. 133 00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:19,940 Will the city that that city was just adjacent to just this office and he acted as the administrator for, 134 00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:26,430 um, for the laboratories year anyway, so, you know, basically like. 135 00:18:26,430 --> 00:18:30,870 Yes, and I've always seen him as quite an important guy. 136 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:41,170 And that set up very much. Yes, entirely. Now, we've been talking about Pickering and what about Badenoch and True Love? 137 00:18:41,170 --> 00:18:51,040 How did they get out of. I think they respected each other, but they were not particularly friendly. 138 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,270 No, they're different animals, aren't they? Yes. 139 00:18:55,270 --> 00:19:00,850 And did was jumping off, as it were, going along a research line. 140 00:19:00,850 --> 00:19:06,790 And then things changed and he took up the wider ambit of practise and. 141 00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:14,630 When I was a technical student and then subsequently. 142 00:19:14,630 --> 00:19:20,040 How soon, I said, sure. Uh, Baker wasn't doing any research right in any way. 143 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:30,500 Yeah, it was an excellent mission. Yes. Um, he director of clinical studies, but, um, there was no academic activity going on. 144 00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:38,500 And I she really was following his paper on absorption and adults. 145 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:43,170 And Jack, I don't think he really published anything. 146 00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:51,620 Mm hmm. That's all substantial, right? So you did your jobs then, did you do the you before the OSHA? 147 00:19:51,620 --> 00:19:52,590 Uh. I did. 148 00:19:52,590 --> 00:20:05,850 Last time I talked to Hammersmith for six months, I was a SAHM and, uh, came back, uh, for the one year S.H. job and then straight into research. 149 00:20:05,850 --> 00:20:09,510 Yes. And the answer was that in the end again. Yeah. 150 00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:15,480 Yeah. So you really sausen in those guys and that was still it, was it. 151 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,010 Uh, no. I came back, um, on tape. 152 00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:23,760 Mm hmm. So that must be an interesting and good as well. 153 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,520 And which was good. I really, you know, some. 154 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,470 Um, yeah, they're supposedly, um. 155 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:41,460 He was often not present on the weekends, but when he was he was very stimulating. 156 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:46,950 Yes. Um, and he would do a movie at. 157 00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:51,530 And then there was a coffee break and then six. 158 00:20:51,530 --> 00:21:06,140 And as for some of what I saw, which is what I watch, um, uh, for the past and present support to students in cases, and he was paying off that. 159 00:21:06,140 --> 00:21:18,040 And that was a terrifying experience because he was really a shock, um, as it was presenting cases which which I did many times. 160 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:25,450 Uh, he would always find when you came back from the Hammersmith, 161 00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:32,420 what did you feel about Oxford compared to the heavens with the headmistress compared to Oxford? 162 00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:40,200 Um. I think Oxford was a bit more gentlemanly. 163 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:46,300 Uh. It seems smaller than the Handsworth. 164 00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:53,300 Uh. And it is the stuff that has left over the last line, right? 165 00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:57,930 I never have, but, um, because they were. 166 00:21:57,930 --> 00:22:02,820 They were electrifying experiences. Um. 167 00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:08,030 The home of the department is gathered in quite large shifts this. 168 00:22:08,030 --> 00:22:14,930 Along the front. Well, um, all the serious stuff. 169 00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:20,680 Uh, Crispus was the president as as he was in the chair. 170 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,360 Um. In gastroenterology, you had heard Darwin and Thomas. 171 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:35,330 There in cardiology. That was, um, surgeon Michael Suda, hopefully for. 172 00:22:35,330 --> 00:22:43,470 Um, we had, um, uh, chronologies. 173 00:22:43,470 --> 00:22:54,700 Russell Fraser, Russell Fraser, um, and Joplin, yeah, um, solidness with the. 174 00:22:54,700 --> 00:23:00,850 All of own, this was their correspondence with the. 175 00:23:00,850 --> 00:23:05,940 It was it was Star-studded. And. 176 00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:18,210 Were they prima donnas? There is extraordinary and and the fight to proceed discussion of the cases was just amazing and we didn't have that option. 177 00:23:18,210 --> 00:23:29,620 It was much, much more gentle. And that wasn't to say people can make some very insightful comments. 178 00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:36,250 But they did, and I swear this house, it animals, right? 179 00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:41,260 And then you were convinced and. Oh yes. What did you feel about his arrival? 180 00:23:41,260 --> 00:23:51,300 Well, you know, that was a very different. Um, way of doing things and, um, you. 181 00:23:51,300 --> 00:24:04,590 On the move. Tell him about the past and he would then dictate to you what you have to record in the next and see your writing seriously unhappy. 182 00:24:04,590 --> 00:24:13,250 You're not more in this group. Um, in the days after this, um. 183 00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:18,640 Um, he was he was a very she. Um. 184 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,300 Very nice to push. But he found it very difficult to. 185 00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:33,170 With a parasitic walk around, yeah, busy now, busy men. 186 00:24:33,170 --> 00:24:38,570 Twelve patients in 24 hours, which, of course, is a joke. 187 00:24:38,570 --> 00:24:45,680 Um, you should usually have about 20 to 30 in a 12 hour shift. 188 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,000 And. I learnt that one group that. 189 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,910 He wanted to learn something about the family history. 190 00:24:55,910 --> 00:25:04,730 And in particular, I remember he wanted to know my grandmother died of and I did not know there. 191 00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:08,660 And the message that was like, yes, you're in a secret. 192 00:25:08,660 --> 00:25:18,230 Yeah. And the other said, OK, then you sort have to start eating them mind so off the wall that you're compensating for pieces of this. 193 00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:25,010 And so it was. Um. 194 00:25:25,010 --> 00:25:30,810 It's. I think that she will this whole here. 195 00:25:30,810 --> 00:25:41,510 Says he wasn't used to dealing with 12 new patients and the medical problems were more than. 196 00:25:41,510 --> 00:25:51,350 That is certainly shocking. Yes, so you do feel that clinically linked to you, pretty laboratory based? 197 00:25:51,350 --> 00:26:00,010 Um, uh, it was mainly laboratory based, but it was, um. 198 00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:07,010 Looking at a variety of logical, um, processes related to, uh, in fact, 199 00:26:07,010 --> 00:26:16,600 she certainly had to collect samples, uh, from the critics and friends and get you to. 200 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:27,800 So I started looking at, um, um, uh, I teach AGP antibodies to three proteins because, like, 201 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:36,190 you were just just two or three years ago being put on the map and discovered by volunteers in Cambridge. 202 00:26:36,190 --> 00:26:43,310 In fact, I spent a couple of weeks in approach, approach and the techniques. 203 00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:47,730 Um, and that is proving to be a. 204 00:26:47,730 --> 00:26:56,760 Disciplines you take to study. Uh, so, uh, in Montana, uh, was along the corridor. 205 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:07,970 Yes, and so. After that, 18 months on, IG Antiquities were proving to be still related, um. 206 00:27:07,970 --> 00:27:15,630 Then I asked if I could study, uh, the president's contacts, his. 207 00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:21,070 In the. In the city of. 208 00:27:21,070 --> 00:27:32,870 Keep with mission that is much more productive and is now he was one of the two that came in on the peace and ticket, George Elberta McLennon. 209 00:27:32,870 --> 00:27:39,220 Yes. And how did you see McClellan's sort of face working role working? 210 00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:47,140 And he was he was very successful. He ran a, uh, very good. 211 00:27:47,140 --> 00:27:53,240 Um, uh, um. 212 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,930 Now, is it very nice that, um, 213 00:27:56,930 --> 00:28:09,530 it wasn't a surprise that after about five or six years and also that he took the chair and then all of a sudden she's had, um. 214 00:28:09,530 --> 00:28:22,240 Now, after your feel, um, what did you do then, um, became senior registrar to, uh, from the age of letting a ride? 215 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:31,220 Um, and, uh, and then, uh, she just is as well as I can remember, you in the Hudson. 216 00:28:31,220 --> 00:28:34,760 I was wondering just which busy was, but that I got it. 217 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:42,110 Yeah. And well that was a fact. There were some rockets my around in that firm. 218 00:28:42,110 --> 00:28:48,990 The bench was absolutely. And how long did you do that? 219 00:28:48,990 --> 00:29:03,260 Three years or I guess it's yes, um, I, I really had both shortened senior registrar time because, uh, um, I think it was in my second year. 220 00:29:03,260 --> 00:29:09,500 Towards the end of the second year, I got to graduate for you, right? 221 00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:20,720 And so after about two and a half years and I saw this kid off to Stanford for my year pool because in those days they were actually trying to shoot. 222 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:35,530 Um, get here and also touch the bus approach and the attachment that I think you were to to the high tech four times to. 223 00:29:35,530 --> 00:29:42,350 Which is seen as a junior person. You didn't have to take out a. 224 00:29:42,350 --> 00:29:47,740 They seriously was to intimidate me, but I did go in, I think, twice. 225 00:29:47,740 --> 00:29:56,410 Um, um. And then the second year provided you with some money to go abroad. 226 00:29:56,410 --> 00:30:05,420 And so I worked extensively with computers. What made you choose for and Keith Taylor and your circulation in Oxford? 227 00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:11,080 You know, I think a lot of that, um, and he have. 228 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:17,040 Uh. I think it was about 90. 229 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:29,250 Seventy one, seventy two, so that's pretty, uh, it was, uh, and so I got to know him well they uh and uh, that is really why I say, uh. 230 00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:42,240 So you're back on the B 12 from now. Yeah. Yeah. I was sort of, uh, I spent my year trying to isolate for five cents in the stomach. 231 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:49,140 And we did some very nice. Um. 232 00:30:49,140 --> 00:30:55,890 They were trying to demonstrate the Massachusets. 233 00:30:55,890 --> 00:30:57,970 He did. 234 00:30:57,970 --> 00:31:14,350 The, uh, we made available, um, gas, food, and, um, incubated these products with it, wash it off and then, um, um, exposed it to actually tanks. 235 00:31:14,350 --> 00:31:24,450 So, um, um, the first experiment and it's quite a big experiment because there were obviously lots of controls. 236 00:31:24,450 --> 00:31:30,460 Um. Uh, maybe not positive. 237 00:31:30,460 --> 00:31:36,300 But then, um, because the results were so good. 238 00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:43,420 Um, Casebolt found some money for me to stay on instead of. 239 00:31:43,420 --> 00:31:52,230 But I had to come back. So I've have my senior registrar had some notice. 240 00:31:52,230 --> 00:31:59,310 Um, so the laboratory technician promised to keep these guys away. 241 00:31:59,310 --> 00:32:05,860 Uh. And, uh, when I got back to the. 242 00:32:05,860 --> 00:32:11,360 And various things happened, I think it was there for another three months. 243 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:22,500 Um, um, uh. Since just I think the Asians didn't come in time. 244 00:32:22,500 --> 00:32:29,570 We got past the fact that it was never sufficient to publish it is about. 245 00:32:29,570 --> 00:32:34,100 Four or five years later, the Los Angeles group. 246 00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:41,360 Um, actually published a paper today showing that it was the gas prices, I mean, 247 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,190 that all sounds very unlike what we thought about American medicine in those days. 248 00:32:46,190 --> 00:32:52,970 You said she hadn't done it. You mean that she had not attempted it or she'd attempted it and failed to do it? 249 00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:57,070 No, I and it is just one project that she she had. 250 00:32:57,070 --> 00:33:03,650 Yeah. Yeah, I understand. And so she just didn't and they couldn't get the reagents. 251 00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:08,060 I can't remember which I think was Gap, the pure gastric. 252 00:33:08,060 --> 00:33:23,860 Uh, um. Um. That the run actually has been rewarded and it's just happened and I think I, I really can't. 253 00:33:23,860 --> 00:33:27,910 It's very interesting. Yeah, yeah. 254 00:33:27,910 --> 00:33:33,460 Um, how much clinical did you do in America? Right. 255 00:33:33,460 --> 00:33:46,120 I had taken my DCF energy, so I was is, um, I was given the title of associate professor at Stanford and. 256 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:55,550 When? Uh, Keith was there was a two week period where he was away when he was actually attending for gastroenterology, 257 00:33:55,550 --> 00:34:05,360 that I think I was allowed to attend, um, for inpatient, but I didn't do the outpatient know that inpatient experience. 258 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:16,750 How did you enjoy that? Well, it was extraordinary because, um, you are not allowed to do anything without inviting half a dozen other. 259 00:34:16,750 --> 00:34:23,230 Yeah, that's, uh. That's right. And we had. 260 00:34:23,230 --> 00:34:32,900 A patient with undiagnosed coeliac disease. Well, the diagnosis was obvious, but they had died. 261 00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:37,990 And so I said, well, how about this 2012? 262 00:34:37,990 --> 00:34:44,950 And then you need to need a haematology consult, all frightfully cumbersome. 263 00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:49,870 It was very thorough. Um, um, it was. 264 00:34:49,870 --> 00:35:03,010 Good collaboration of different disciplines that we grew up in this system were moved as you did it all yourself, and if you stop, then compromise. 265 00:35:03,010 --> 00:35:06,760 So it was, uh, I thought it was rather cumbersome. 266 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:14,530 Every time anybody gave a concert, there were about three or four pages in the names of the writing. 267 00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:23,770 They just, uh, just seemed to be a bit dense. And so you were glad to get back to parties. 268 00:35:23,770 --> 00:35:28,960 So how much more did you do as an aside, before you got a consultant from us? 269 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:36,430 Three months. But I suppose I was myself in more than, um, coming up to three years. 270 00:35:36,430 --> 00:35:40,560 And I mean, was that because sitting at a time that no one ever knew? 271 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:52,340 Um, I came back. I went to Stanford in April 17th. 272 00:35:52,340 --> 00:36:00,600 Three, um. In January of 74. 273 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:14,220 Then there was a job advertised at Middlesex Hospital because I knew I was coming back, um, city so that I should apply for it. 274 00:36:14,220 --> 00:36:22,720 So I came back for an interview. And his testimony did not get the job and. 275 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:29,260 Who did it? Peter Costello, a distinguished pathologist. 276 00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:33,940 OK, right, OK. Yes. And I mean, he is not just the world IACP. 277 00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:39,010 All right. So these are the states officially retired. 278 00:36:39,010 --> 00:36:55,970 Um. But at the final interview, the London University representative on this was an NHS post last year, Sherlock and. 279 00:36:55,970 --> 00:37:03,750 It was a short time afterwards. I got cancelled at about 8:00 in the morning. 280 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:09,170 And the phone is ringing and it was Sydney. And. 281 00:37:09,170 --> 00:37:15,280 He said, I've had she [INAUDIBLE] up on the floor wondering why you haven't applied for that job. 282 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,750 And so I said, well, I didn't know that was a job. And I was a senior lecturer post. 283 00:37:20,750 --> 00:37:26,030 So she advertised for and she clearly identified. 284 00:37:26,030 --> 00:37:30,350 During this interview, Little says the first person to be appointed. 285 00:37:30,350 --> 00:37:36,300 Yeah, um, and so I finish my job. 286 00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:47,490 He just returned to Stanford for just a few more weeks, um, came back, got married and started a free range. 287 00:37:47,490 --> 00:37:53,660 And how long were you then there? From 1974 to 1980, right. 288 00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:59,640 In the 1980s. And what was your speciality at the military? 289 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:10,080 I just had to look after to do that. Right. Um, and any time I showed an interest in and I was warned off in no uncertain terms. 290 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:21,570 Um, so, uh, um. And she have the policy of having a senior lecturer who was promoted to do that. 291 00:38:21,570 --> 00:38:28,980 And so my predecessors were Tony Dawson, who was I know. 292 00:38:28,980 --> 00:38:32,640 And then, um, in that chair. 293 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:41,210 Yes. Went off to. It it reaches, uh, and. 294 00:38:41,210 --> 00:38:53,080 Uh, Grayson, Rand had just said there was no space at the new hospital and announced it was being built. 295 00:38:53,080 --> 00:39:08,980 All this built up, so I arrived roughly in August 1974, and in October, I was the first person to occupy any space in the new hospital in the house. 296 00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:15,730 Very good. Yeah, and that was just laboratory space of. 297 00:39:15,730 --> 00:39:25,010 So, I mean, there was no inflammatory bowel disease care so that you started it and, you know. 298 00:39:25,010 --> 00:39:36,380 Came into a thriving G.I. Joe, G.I., um, kind and service by, uh, um, that's on my desk. 299 00:39:36,380 --> 00:39:42,110 And were you an honorary consultant there? So what made you move back to Oxford? 300 00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:54,940 I was it a better job in Oxford? Well. The attraction coming back was it was really the big check, the Sydney man. 301 00:39:54,940 --> 00:40:10,070 And the. The ability to network with immunology and, um, uh, yeah, it was a very attractive. 302 00:40:10,070 --> 00:40:19,720 So which immunologists rather should be, um, what it was really, um, links with the South possible. 303 00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:23,990 Yeah. No, I guess put them in the Willingdon school. And who was it really. 304 00:40:23,990 --> 00:40:28,610 Um, well we soon started collaborating with SonicWALL but. 305 00:40:28,610 --> 00:40:35,150 Yeah. Great. And you're glad you made that move, I would guess. 306 00:40:35,150 --> 00:40:44,090 But before we go on to what you did, as it were, tell me about sitting in his place in the Oxford school and inflammatory bowel disease. 307 00:40:44,090 --> 00:40:49,290 Um, yes. Uh. 308 00:40:49,290 --> 00:40:56,600 Well, Cindy had a very interesting career because. 309 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:06,330 As a. Young consultants, already senior registrar, has increased his medical school was King's, 310 00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:20,160 um, he went into the RNC and, um, was in Italy, um, towards the end of the. 311 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:33,360 And his first paper was on what was then called his fascist titles, which was, of course, at it's hard to say, um, um, 312 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:42,050 on on the epidemiology of this in the troops and his paper that's really largely focussed on the book, 313 00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:48,380 but actually preceded anything else and had something to say for a long time. 314 00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:59,800 Um, and, uh, then he came back as a consultant physician in Norwich. 315 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:07,580 And I don't know why this is what's. 316 00:42:07,580 --> 00:42:12,430 Knew about him and asked him to kind of. 317 00:42:12,430 --> 00:42:24,820 To Oxford, and if you remember, the Oxford technology was and first assistant professor to see the Canada, um, and Sydney. 318 00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:36,140 So Sydney arrived in Oxford, um, I think 1948 or somewhere there in the late forties. 319 00:42:36,140 --> 00:42:39,910 Um. Perhaps slightly late. 320 00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:56,800 Yeah, I think it is about that 48 49. Uh, and then, uh, um, corticosteroids were had been introduced and, um, for future disorders. 321 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,510 And I don't know whose idea it was. 322 00:43:01,510 --> 00:43:07,360 The thought about studying the use of steroids in their classes. 323 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:18,210 I didn't know that the severe weather was nasty ones, but I think it was Sydney, um, that really got the Austin colitis interest. 324 00:43:18,210 --> 00:43:29,900 Um. And of course, he's paid for all the, uh, uh, coaches and reducing the mortality rate in severe colitis from, 325 00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:36,960 uh, something like 30 percent down to about 10 percent. 326 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:48,660 Um, was dramatic, and that picture was the most widely quoted and was that animal, so that was, um. 327 00:43:48,660 --> 00:43:55,860 I think or no, I mean, um, but the animal studies followed, uh, 328 00:43:55,860 --> 00:44:07,940 because Cindy knew by then the technologies for using topical steroids, uh, XMA classlessness of. 329 00:44:07,940 --> 00:44:12,690 Masterclasses is just like eczema, the skin so chocolatey. 330 00:44:12,690 --> 00:44:23,840 That's the reason for the yellow. And then, of course, his other landmark paper, apart from the course was, uh, uh, 331 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:32,390 the two packages going to be a check on the natural history and lasted for this year. 332 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:40,070 Yes. Now, he was a remarkable man because he had a very important paper on pulmonary embolism to be he. 333 00:44:40,070 --> 00:44:47,210 Yes. And his habit to work there. Well, it's, um. 334 00:44:47,210 --> 00:44:55,280 Well, so the whole time I knew him from, uh, 1959 onwards, 335 00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:20,040 they did not get involved and always said that he used to live here about thirty 12 in the morning and gave him about seven. 336 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,000 So he came about 11 who didn't start working, 337 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,350 and he usually got in in time just to shuffle through a few pages on his desk post in 338 00:45:31,350 --> 00:45:37,680 the morning and sign that investors and then handed off to the canteen for lunch. 339 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,280 Um, usually with Islamised in the red. Yes. 340 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:55,770 He's worked closely with, um, and, uh, he worked at that time one of the major textbook in gastroenterology, um, uh, 341 00:45:55,770 --> 00:46:02,880 called diseases of that type digestive system, which he did with, um, 342 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:10,510 one of the lecturers in the department, Peter Renda, who became a consultant in Bradford. 343 00:46:10,510 --> 00:46:21,360 So I so the first edition was published, um, late 1950s and uh, Blackwells, he published it once. 344 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:34,450 It's a second edition. So she asked me if I would help, but that was a very interesting experience because, uh, 345 00:46:34,450 --> 00:46:44,590 we would have a somewhat unpleasant summer in the county, about seven to seven thirty in the evening. 346 00:46:44,590 --> 00:46:56,650 We then walk over to the actual science library and using the index medicus because PubMed and such electronic search engines are not available. 347 00:46:56,650 --> 00:47:05,760 Uh, we looked up the latest work in whatever chapter we've been working on, the oesophagus, on Pattakos. 348 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:16,050 So, uh, we may some those, um, important papers and the reference and then the library closed at 10 o'clock in the evening, 349 00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:23,620 we went to his house, the Tiger Woods store. Right. Um, where I'm have had coffee ready. 350 00:47:23,620 --> 00:47:35,470 Uh, and we then added that chapter bringing us up to date until about 3:00 in the morning. 351 00:47:35,470 --> 00:47:40,590 Uh, sometimes Sidney would run out of cigarettes. So it was about talk. 352 00:47:40,590 --> 00:47:40,730 Talk. 353 00:47:40,730 --> 00:47:51,600 That one says, um, we had to take a breath of air, which meant walking up to the roundabout, to the garage to buy cigarettes and came back again. 354 00:47:51,600 --> 00:48:01,680 And, uh, then two thirty three o'clock, uh, he was decided he decided it was time for a glass of whisky. 355 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,660 So I used to get hold of that for a bit. 356 00:48:06,660 --> 00:48:13,720 And this was uh, sort of May, June, July, August time. 357 00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:21,930 So and it was already getting late, but I was getting ahead and I was in the in the requisite seven by eight to 358 00:48:21,930 --> 00:48:27,260 eight thirty in the morning because you were doing general medicine as well. 359 00:48:27,260 --> 00:48:35,760 But carrying on with my research. Yes. Uh, often in the clinics but in the afternoons. 360 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:46,500 So there was no clinical work in the morning, although I would often get called in to see, um, somebody on the ward with Kagi. 361 00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:55,410 So I sort of acted as a senior registrar and gastroenterology for that for that time and for Peter. 362 00:48:55,410 --> 00:49:03,390 And now he left. But obviously, you know. I understand. And jumping way back, was he an assistant to it? 363 00:49:03,390 --> 00:49:08,350 So was he always. And it just because I thought he became an adjacent to physics. 364 00:49:08,350 --> 00:49:17,980 Yes. I think he, uh, he he did have a full time academic post initially, but that became NHS. 365 00:49:17,980 --> 00:49:22,050 I think that must have been four of them at one time, but they probably shuffled a bit. 366 00:49:22,050 --> 00:49:28,590 But it doesn't matter. Um, and he was a remarkable man, as I say, because he had lots of hobbies. 367 00:49:28,590 --> 00:49:32,850 I believe he had old cars. Yes, he had pottery. 368 00:49:32,850 --> 00:49:37,230 Yes. And heaven knows whether there's a God. Right. Right. 369 00:49:37,230 --> 00:49:38,430 Yes. 370 00:49:38,430 --> 00:49:49,860 And was he a great runner, too, in his youth where he did run, but he got half billion for boxing from Cambridge because I'd heard he got the flu. 371 00:49:49,860 --> 00:49:56,880 Gosh, he grew up in, uh, um, a small village just outside Cambridge. 372 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:04,190 Um, and, uh, got a scholarship to. 373 00:50:04,190 --> 00:50:11,510 Trinity Hall and foxing now as a fugitive. 374 00:50:11,510 --> 00:50:18,590 And did you find it difficult talking to him? He's very slow speech or did he talk fast or one to one? 375 00:50:18,590 --> 00:50:24,560 I was very nervous because he slept, but it didn't bother me. 376 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:39,350 Hmm. And then he returned much more so some of the very bright academics in the university that went off like a train, that train. 377 00:50:39,350 --> 00:50:46,220 So then he retired. Yes. And you came back from the Royal Free to take up the clinic, as it were. 378 00:50:46,220 --> 00:50:49,610 And you would be single handed then, as it were. Yes. 379 00:50:49,610 --> 00:50:56,180 As a consultant. And how do you see things from then on it? 380 00:50:56,180 --> 00:51:05,480 Sort of two comments. The subject itself and the way the NHS evolved when I was in Sydney, of course, was a long time university. 381 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:12,200 Yes. And by the time he retired there, Weatherill had been in place for, um. 382 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:25,820 A couple of years, maybe three, um, and had a large enough department interest quite considerably, and so when Sidney retired, 383 00:51:25,820 --> 00:51:35,900 um, David said that he really did division and that's so gastroenterology became a full time NHS post. 384 00:51:35,900 --> 00:51:50,180 Um, and I was always did not apply for the job because, um, with the amount of general medicine that went with it being a generalist. 385 00:51:50,180 --> 00:51:54,530 But I mean in times of uh oh. Laboratories. 386 00:51:54,530 --> 00:52:06,880 Yeah. Uh, but then David said we just moved out to the Raptors February as a piece of laboratory space available to that. 387 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:24,080 Hmm. And uh. Uh, Robert Turner yourself, people are still down here and he said you can use the administrative procedure, the TED. 388 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:31,020 Yes, it is, um, of purchasing stuff and keeping the party running. 389 00:52:31,020 --> 00:52:37,820 And, um, so that's why I continue to have an interest. 390 00:52:37,820 --> 00:52:48,710 And I don't mind me being here just a short time, just a few months from when I called for Senator Sessions, which made a big difference, 391 00:52:48,710 --> 00:52:55,980 because up to then, had you been working in a laboratory setting, you set up a laboratory straight away, did you? 392 00:52:55,980 --> 00:53:01,930 Yes. Yes. And then the full of the months you got proper allowance for. 393 00:53:01,930 --> 00:53:06,040 Yes. That's great. And did you have to fundraise? Yes. 394 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,910 I don't know. I was getting no money. Yeah. And how easy was that? 395 00:53:10,910 --> 00:53:15,380 The, uh. The feeling. Yeah. How easy was the fundraising? 396 00:53:15,380 --> 00:53:20,200 Where did you get it from? Well, it's never easy. 397 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:25,830 Fact. Uh, I got it from wherever you could. Yeah. But I mean, was it the most serious. 398 00:53:25,830 --> 00:53:28,450 Well, Cassie, welcome. 399 00:53:28,450 --> 00:53:39,380 Um, we were ready without a clinical trial and the fellowship from the L.L.C. love and um and then from the charitable organisations, 400 00:53:39,380 --> 00:53:44,090 there was this thing called the National Association of Trans Colitis. 401 00:53:44,090 --> 00:53:50,150 And a few grants from that is, um, uh, what is now called coeliac. 402 00:53:50,150 --> 00:53:59,750 Uh, it's got money from, um, uh, the pharmaceutical industry sometimes provided the grants all the time. 403 00:53:59,750 --> 00:54:08,870 So I would be involved in clinical trials and all the money, uh, patients that you had went into the research team. 404 00:54:08,870 --> 00:54:20,750 So, I mean, it was, um, it was just wherever he is from industry and, uh, from the pharmaceutical industry, but not on a regular basis. 405 00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:33,110 Um, but I mean, you couldn't run, um, I think the maximum number of research facilities we ever had was ten, which was a bit too many years. 406 00:54:33,110 --> 00:54:44,130 Um, you needed a full time research secretary to about all that, and I had to pay her from wherever. 407 00:54:44,130 --> 00:54:55,470 I saw a few patients in the in the John Radcliffe, um, not very many, and all of that went into the kitty to the, 408 00:54:55,470 --> 00:55:02,490 uh, the research side is now in that subject, the interaction with the surgeon surgeons must be very important. 409 00:55:02,490 --> 00:55:09,510 Yes. And Sidney with a built up, I think it this built up a very, very strong link. 410 00:55:09,510 --> 00:55:17,270 Uh, and of course, when he retired, the key GI surgeons were like, OK, well, I had to manually write. 411 00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:26,220 I have no it was very, very, um, keen that I should come back from London. 412 00:55:26,220 --> 00:55:36,030 And, uh, we worked together very well. So it was a great idea on the face of it, um, when I first came back. 413 00:55:36,030 --> 00:55:40,240 Yes. I wasn't one of them. That trial was cut off the liver disease. 414 00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:46,860 So I didn't have to do it here until he did the liver surgery. 415 00:55:46,860 --> 00:55:51,240 Um, so the legal team was ready. 416 00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:58,800 Myself and the two surgeons had done that for radiology. 417 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:06,060 And we had lost the very distinguished guy dislodges to Australia. 418 00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:13,170 And that was, uh, Dick Whitehead. But, uh, was John. 419 00:56:13,170 --> 00:56:20,700 So I brought on and I was the Whiteheads procedure, and they both went off to do it right. 420 00:56:20,700 --> 00:56:28,530 So for theology, um, think we had a senior registrar denoted. 421 00:56:28,530 --> 00:56:34,080 Yes. Um, to look after us. Who wrote it? 422 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:47,640 Well, it had never intended to be, um, the senior registrar coming up to the end of his time, that thoughts were in passing the NRC past. 423 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,350 Mm hmm. Uh, and of course, as soon as I got that exam, it was an exit exam. 424 00:56:52,350 --> 00:57:05,430 So as soon as they said they were applying for jobs, so it turned out that they had rabbit is um and obviously they were trained in general pathology. 425 00:57:05,430 --> 00:57:15,300 But most of the time I knew more about what we were looking at as a little piece of gastrointestinal mucosa than they did. 426 00:57:15,300 --> 00:57:23,340 So we trained them a bit. But that actually to them can really very competent and very useful later on. 427 00:57:23,340 --> 00:57:32,370 Did you get a focussed. Well, a pathologist finally we got Brian Burke, who, of course, um, sadly just died a year ago. 428 00:57:32,370 --> 00:57:41,980 Yeah. Um, but I mean, he was one of the leading inflammatory bowel disease GI soldiers in the world that 429 00:57:41,980 --> 00:57:49,380 the enormous difference you said earlier about the neighbour due to network. 430 00:57:49,380 --> 00:57:56,520 So who in the sense was that with, um, did you travel all of a sudden travel? 431 00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,080 Um, most of the network was just down the road. 432 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:08,430 Um, and as I said with, um, uh, the Dinescu, um, um, 433 00:58:08,430 --> 00:58:15,630 Philipa is now a professor of gastroenterology who's just come back from California to join Peter Morris. 434 00:58:15,630 --> 00:58:21,300 Right. And it has some collaborative work on the um. 435 00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:37,850 And um, uh. She do any collaborative work with Richard Boyd that Richard is always a good sounding personality, 436 00:58:37,850 --> 00:58:44,690 but, um, doing projects in coeliac disease and the small intestine, uh, that's nice. 437 00:58:44,690 --> 00:58:50,540 This guy was an anatomy that is really gosh, I didn't realise that's not what I asked Richard. 438 00:58:50,540 --> 00:58:59,750 And I know quite well right now, he's a good guy. Um, and then the subject was developing all the time. 439 00:58:59,750 --> 00:59:07,490 And do you feel that they've, uh, can you confidently say what is the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis, Tom? 440 00:59:07,490 --> 00:59:12,360 Crohn's disease. Um, what we can tell you what we think. 441 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:21,690 Well, pathogenesis. And how confident are you? Well, we know, um, that genes play a major role. 442 00:59:21,690 --> 00:59:33,740 Um, they may they almost certainly provide susceptibility, which underlies this familial instance of diseases. 443 00:59:33,740 --> 00:59:42,890 And, uh, I think there is absolutely no doubt they, um, do influence the natural history that the disease, 444 00:59:42,890 --> 00:59:51,050 um, which patients are going to get extra intestinal manifestations, which patients can run a severe course? 445 00:59:51,050 --> 01:00:02,150 Um, and, uh, I think in terms of polygenic disease, because the way, uh, you know, 446 01:00:02,150 --> 01:00:19,940 one hundred sixty three um um, genetic associations, um um that says is shared between U.S. and French disease. 447 01:00:19,940 --> 01:00:26,550 Um, the. That this disease specific, so that begins to make sense, 448 01:00:26,550 --> 01:00:42,450 but the fact that sometimes the diseases are so severe and yet classically said different, um, we know the environment plays a major role. 449 01:00:42,450 --> 01:00:54,360 There's a wonderful study, um, two years ago from Denmark showing quite unequivocally, um, that in the first two years of life, 450 01:00:54,360 --> 01:01:06,480 if you have multiple courses on antibiotics, you have something like a 12 fold increase in risk of developing the disease during their lifetime. 451 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:11,800 If you have just a single, um. 452 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:23,630 Exposure to an antibiotic, many of the sort of penicillin, uh, flu toxin and cephalosporin group, not the nature of the days, I was, um. 453 01:01:23,630 --> 01:01:30,100 Then again, you've got a five, six fold increase, so eventually my. 454 01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:41,420 It's the hygiene hypothesis that's been around in Crohn's disease for a long time, um, and if you grow up in a very clean environment, 455 01:01:41,420 --> 01:01:50,180 um, then you're much more likely to develop the disease than if you grow up in the in the gutters. 456 01:01:50,180 --> 01:01:55,030 So I think trying to get into the system early in life. 457 01:01:55,030 --> 01:02:02,840 By these environmental factors, it's very important. You've got the genetic soil. 458 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:09,980 Um, so that's against and then there are bacteria and, um, 459 01:02:09,980 --> 01:02:17,990 is becoming the microbiome in relation to you, synchronises is the growing area of research. 460 01:02:17,990 --> 01:02:28,010 Yes, yes. Because I was thinking that the disease must affect the flora, but the flora early on may or may not affect the disease here. 461 01:02:28,010 --> 01:02:32,320 Yeah, yeah. It's a chicken and egg situation. 462 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:41,630 And, uh. And how much is treatment? Improved treatment has, uh, um, change has little recognition. 463 01:02:41,630 --> 01:02:47,030 I mean, I grew up as a young researcher and gastroenterology. 464 01:02:47,030 --> 01:02:53,970 We had steroids and we had SASE selective high. 465 01:02:53,970 --> 01:03:04,590 Um. Service housing is another, um, is a service like link to yourself, 466 01:03:04,590 --> 01:03:18,250 security has a lot of side effects and it is certainly true that here was a young Bangladeshi research fellow called Azad Carr. 467 01:03:18,250 --> 01:03:25,690 Um, that showed that it was a celestial light that was causing the benefit and not so, 468 01:03:25,690 --> 01:03:33,660 um, and so the whole pharmaceutical industry got busy trying to. 469 01:03:33,660 --> 01:03:42,220 Get the five of money, salicylic acid, um, down into the kettle without proper absorption. 470 01:03:42,220 --> 01:03:51,000 Uh, and so there are lots of tricks to link to this page linking the the salicylate 471 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,140 molecule to itself or to the mind of acid and all of these been attempted. 472 01:03:55,140 --> 01:04:07,580 So that's, um. Changed very considerably because the fundamental salicylic acid drugs used in Saluzzi. 473 01:04:07,580 --> 01:04:20,340 Um. Are relatively non-toxic. You can get big doses and really for love, just colitis and even more interesting, 474 01:04:20,340 --> 01:04:27,480 certainly in the states, um, Chitose, Wisconsin is not first First-line treatment yet. 475 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:36,220 So that's changed a lot. Um, in the. 476 01:04:36,220 --> 01:04:50,440 Mid 60s as a friend had come in again, mainly for Ducos and, um, but there were a few cases reported of hostage crisis, 477 01:04:50,440 --> 01:05:03,130 responsive customers, very small studies from the states and Sydney instituted a big trial of basis upon which I ran for, um. 478 01:05:03,130 --> 01:05:10,280 Induction information and then maintenance on it was quite clear it didn't do very much in the first three months, 479 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:14,650 I mean, I know that it takes three months to start to work. 480 01:05:14,650 --> 01:05:20,110 Um, but it was effective in the long term. So. 481 01:05:20,110 --> 01:05:27,610 In the latest clinical trials, the latest drug test, you will find the. 482 01:05:27,610 --> 01:05:34,210 Says he 40 50 percent of patients have been on the premises of a widely used truck, 483 01:05:34,210 --> 01:05:41,200 and then, of course, the other big change is being the biologics, the ATF agents. 484 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:46,220 Um, and they made an enormous difference. Uh. 485 01:05:46,220 --> 01:05:58,140 Intent on the. Passions have long term benefits, so and there are lots of new compounds in them, has all this reduced the amount of surgery? 486 01:05:58,140 --> 01:06:08,820 Yes, good. Um, now it has reduced the amount, I think it would be fair to say, the last three years. 487 01:06:08,820 --> 01:06:13,000 Right. Um, in terms of the. Yeah. 488 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:18,960 Uh, um. Uh. 489 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:30,060 You know, using these powerful vacations we learnt to take because cheating is really the goal of therapy, 490 01:06:30,060 --> 01:06:36,820 because that is associated with longer periods of repression than if you use. 491 01:06:36,820 --> 01:06:43,700 Centonze. You mentioned the hundred and thirty genes. 492 01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:48,370 No, I'm sure you know where they are, but do you know what they do, what they code for? 493 01:06:48,370 --> 01:06:53,230 Um, not a lot of, um, we know that name. 494 01:06:53,230 --> 01:06:56,100 And, um, and you've always got this. 495 01:06:56,100 --> 01:07:05,760 Even with the latest, um, genome wide association studies, you still have a problem of whether the gene that you've, 496 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:15,120 um, identified is the gene of interest or whether it's an individual with a very close neighbour. 497 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:24,990 Yeah. Um, but the genes of these hundred and sixty three, um, genetic mutations, 498 01:07:24,990 --> 01:07:33,350 they fall into some very aggressive cancers like adaptive immunity, the HLA. 499 01:07:33,350 --> 01:07:47,780 Um, James, innate ability and, um, various function potentially for free, you see, um, um, autophagy, uh, and immune regulation. 500 01:07:47,780 --> 01:07:57,280 Uh, great. So, you know, there are some, um, things it's a very much story building up. 501 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:07,580 Yeah. No, don't be modest about this. We're with Oxford, Sydney and the rest of the World Centre for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. 502 01:08:07,580 --> 01:08:15,240 Um, well, certainly in Sydney's day, it was an internationally recognised centre. 503 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:21,830 Um, um, and it's not for me to say, but I think we maintained. 504 01:08:21,830 --> 01:08:27,200 Yes. On the surface where the other big centres, really big centres. 505 01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:37,560 Um. In the U.K., um. 506 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:53,700 And this time there were no really big sense. So Marks, for example, in London, Leeds is, um, mainly surgical, but the medical as well, um, and. 507 01:08:53,700 --> 01:09:03,110 Perhaps, but, um. Well, that was mainly coeliac disease and malabsorption. 508 01:09:03,110 --> 01:09:21,980 Rather than I yes, the big IPD clinic, um, um, uh, Cheryl Cook was was Professor Gates and his main interest was in Malabsorption, uh, his project. 509 01:09:21,980 --> 01:09:26,620 But that was the same age as me that we grew up together. 510 01:09:26,620 --> 01:09:40,040 But we had a big identity and and, um, and then of course Guy I did the surgery, um, and then I was also very big. 511 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:47,120 Um, um, so these were the key senses, maybe Edinborough. 512 01:09:47,120 --> 01:10:01,160 But the states of Australia and the UK declined to, um, Fanfan Panopto, so which which is, um, Edinburgh is still strong. 513 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:12,950 Box is. A shadow of its former self who's still has a big IBT presence, um, in the States, 514 01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:21,020 there's concern and New York, um, Chicago, um, the Cleveland Clinic, 515 01:10:21,020 --> 01:10:42,550 um, and, uh, North Carolina, Chapel Hill, um, big centres in Canada, like Toronto, um, and then mean that Europe has been really in the forefront. 516 01:10:42,550 --> 01:10:52,600 The friendship is very strong, mainly in Paris, but they have a wonderful, um, I pronounce it in French, 517 01:10:52,600 --> 01:11:05,190 but the initials of Jeté G.T. and, um, and it's a group for the study of, um. 518 01:11:05,190 --> 01:11:16,590 In fact, she addressed the soldiers and they that's wonderful for clinical trials, um, the Germans have become really very strong. 519 01:11:16,590 --> 01:11:23,910 So, yeah, uh, it's it's it's really centres around the world. 520 01:11:23,910 --> 01:11:29,190 Did you ever feel you'd like to do a sabbatical period with one of those? 521 01:11:29,190 --> 01:11:35,130 Yes. It's a big image as they it. 522 01:11:35,130 --> 01:11:39,300 Yeah. Because you would have had a lot going on here all the time. I realise that. 523 01:11:39,300 --> 01:11:44,460 But it would have been fun. Yes. But I did have so many sabbaticals. 524 01:11:44,460 --> 01:11:57,240 Um, this thing in Australia, um, called Bushra Lectureship, um which I was giving them, that meant we were in Australia for about six weeks. 525 01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:08,190 Um and then I did a visiting professor at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and another four weeks, a different time in Adelaide. 526 01:12:08,190 --> 01:12:20,220 And you know, that was four weeks without any fixed clinical comment is gave it time to be catching up, um, beating up, 527 01:12:20,220 --> 01:12:30,020 going through manuscripts, um, through the latest thesis written by somebody in the unit who could speak English. 528 01:12:30,020 --> 01:12:37,350 And so this was a very nice reading. Is it because you were doing general medicine to take. 529 01:12:37,350 --> 01:12:45,570 Yes. When did you stop other than that. Um, two thousand years. 530 01:12:45,570 --> 01:12:55,410 And what made you stop? Um. It was about what I think it was nineteen ninety nine, 531 01:12:55,410 --> 01:13:03,990 I became vice president of the Society of Gastroenterology and then going on to a presidential year two years later. 532 01:13:03,990 --> 01:13:13,210 Um, I'd like to go to the, uh, I was also at the same time chairing the. 533 01:13:13,210 --> 01:13:24,980 So. Section of an enquiry which the MRC is set up, um, and that meant frequent trips to London. 534 01:13:24,980 --> 01:13:28,650 What was that? And so that's why. That's fine. 535 01:13:28,650 --> 01:13:29,720 That's fine. Yeah. 536 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:44,630 And everybody was very happy for me to give up, but they ended up near the embassy enquiry and, um, uh, was all about autism and the MMR vaccine. 537 01:13:44,630 --> 01:13:45,650 All right. 538 01:13:45,650 --> 01:13:58,440 Uh, and the Department of Health had got very worried about the drop off in these vaccination, he said, and told us he ACLC to set up an enquiry. 539 01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:13,900 Yes. And I was asked to chair the subgroup on, um, um, the gut because there was a story that, um, the measles vaccine caused. 540 01:14:13,900 --> 01:14:25,420 The kid is. Information that's a up in this case is all about, um, uh, it's, uh, 541 01:14:25,420 --> 01:14:32,750 the person involved and bothered to go back and see what the earliest I can get healthy. 542 01:14:32,750 --> 01:14:37,950 Other kids, which has more information, is, um. 543 01:14:37,950 --> 01:14:45,190 Nordhausen. Afterwards, it was a real tragedy. 544 01:14:45,190 --> 01:14:49,750 Yes. Yes. And then, uh, now you mentioned the textbook way back. 545 01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:56,710 Did that continue? No, it finished with the second edition. 546 01:14:56,710 --> 01:15:10,650 Um. And I think largely because a very, very big American text came out in two volumes, um. 547 01:15:10,650 --> 01:15:20,000 And then there was another tax bill coming out, I think, that was decided in Sydney, which they didn't want to get into. 548 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:30,100 So you were probably but, um, I published a book with How Thomas. 549 01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:41,180 On immunology, the GI tract, and, uh, during the three days we did produce that as a as a second addition I had. 550 01:15:41,180 --> 01:15:48,300 Um, and then we did another book, um. 551 01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:55,790 Um. We did it with a man. 552 01:15:55,790 --> 01:16:08,770 I'm like, OK, well. Uh. Uh, how to do what was called but entrance into the second edition, so, you know, there were there were books around. 553 01:16:08,770 --> 01:16:16,970 I was very pleased not to be taking a general tax because it had to change to multiverses. 554 01:16:16,970 --> 01:16:20,810 But you would have contributed to the Oxford Dictionary. Yeah. 555 01:16:20,810 --> 01:16:32,420 What did you do that the encounter about the horror of the guys and the coeliac chapter and the U.S. trade. 556 01:16:32,420 --> 01:16:40,850 And then I think I did that for. Um, for Ed. Yeah, and then. 557 01:16:40,850 --> 01:16:50,120 The first one. I decided that I should reduce it to somebody else, and they they asked me to do the U.S. chapter. 558 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:58,580 Yes. Um, but I'm not doing anything awful. Uh, and you would have had your name on all 300 papers, so. 559 01:16:58,580 --> 01:17:03,380 Yes, there were 400, you know, that kind of thing. 560 01:17:03,380 --> 01:17:06,560 Now, final, very difficult years ago. 561 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:21,300 I always remember Cindy coming back, um, from visiting as a unit as possible and then an see exercise, reviewing that unit's. 562 01:17:21,300 --> 01:17:27,490 And he wrote in his report the most damning statement, he said. 563 01:17:27,490 --> 01:17:40,250 I saw evidence of a lot of. Activity, I wasn't sure how much research has been done, and he was a very methodical man, I would guess. 564 01:17:40,250 --> 01:17:52,560 Yes, yes, yes. He didn't like. Just chilling out of potboilers had to be some focus on the findings is now a 565 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,650 difficult question because we all know that things get worse as we get older. 566 01:17:56,650 --> 01:18:04,640 But how do you feel the NHS trajectory has run since the 1970s? 567 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:17,720 Um. But I was always a nonpolitician. 568 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:26,410 I had too much to do. No, um. I didn't enjoy sitting on that hospital. 569 01:18:26,410 --> 01:18:31,930 This is still a little bit, but I avoided it as much as possible. 570 01:18:31,930 --> 01:18:38,810 Um. And. I'm going to sit. 571 01:18:38,810 --> 01:18:47,270 Patient care, in many ways has been transformed. Because we've got so many new treatments, we're going to send a new diagnostic techniques, 572 01:18:47,270 --> 01:18:52,820 um, which don't which become more rather than less pleasant. 573 01:18:52,820 --> 01:18:59,950 Um, and. I think. 574 01:18:59,950 --> 01:19:02,180 One doesn't like. 575 01:19:02,180 --> 01:19:13,450 The Break-Up of the old firm structure and the ship's system changes according to the working time directive, and that really has been a disaster. 576 01:19:13,450 --> 01:19:20,180 And I know for the last year or so in general, we do oppose. 577 01:19:20,180 --> 01:19:31,050 Right. And sometimes, um, none of the genius attorneys seemed impassioned because the ones who come from office might have been a bit of a hand. 578 01:19:31,050 --> 01:19:38,110 Uh. If he had 20 acute patients in overnight. 579 01:19:38,110 --> 01:19:42,100 Perhaps more sometimes a new reaction focus on. 580 01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:47,780 Yeah, you know, yeah, so. 581 01:19:47,780 --> 01:20:00,900 That's his. That's been a big difference, um, and, you know, the responsibilities of consulting staff home now to keep them safe, 582 01:20:00,900 --> 01:20:05,490 where it's really a consulting service, I think, uh. 583 01:20:05,490 --> 01:20:10,910 Very demanding because. But I suppose this a specialist. 584 01:20:10,910 --> 01:20:16,040 And you feel that you're sort of on top of the game within your speciality, 585 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:25,520 you then rapidly realise you're not on top of the game in the latest in cardiology or professional or whatever. 586 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:34,810 So I think the responsibility of the senior staff is actually increased monumentally under this shifting centre to me underneath the. 587 01:20:34,810 --> 01:20:42,840 Um. Miss. So they still take on that responsibility. 588 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:51,060 Um. So I have a student teaching, I think this has. 589 01:20:51,060 --> 01:20:55,650 Um, the students are still very bright and they adapt to the system that they've got, 590 01:20:55,650 --> 01:21:03,240 so they still produce some very good PENNICOTT options, some very good academic. 591 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:12,580 Um. But that the lack of continuity in the first is not good for teaching. 592 01:21:12,580 --> 01:21:21,600 And you were referring to the practical procedures. You did as alert as they were and they wouldn't be allowed to do that. 593 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:34,580 And of course, they do have all these simulated models. But, um, so they they practise the function of elitism, um, picking up chips and so on. 594 01:21:34,580 --> 01:21:42,160 On all the multiples. Um, so maybe that's a good thing. 595 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:57,020 I was recalling. Um, just earlier this week of something somebody would say, I mean, really struggling with putting in, um, you Rachel Casitas. 596 01:21:57,020 --> 01:22:02,690 I was a first year 10 student. Um. 597 01:22:02,690 --> 01:22:13,200 I just shudder to think the discomfort of these poor chaps had, so I think this may be the same in some ways, but there are lots of students nowadays. 598 01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:19,250 Um, their exposure to clinical medicine is not what we had. 599 01:22:19,250 --> 01:22:28,370 Um, and they don't have the opportunity to practise the skills and so that they can of has uh uh, 600 01:22:28,370 --> 01:22:32,990 it's, uh, it's a whole change in culture that it will get back. 601 01:22:32,990 --> 01:22:42,610 Um, but but I think it's, um. They don't have the. 602 01:22:42,610 --> 01:22:50,480 I don't think they have the teaching, that first hand experience that I had. 603 01:22:50,480 --> 01:22:59,200 Did you have any experience of interference with your clinical practise from management administration? 604 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:09,830 Um, not much. I think because I was in the report, just got out and did it on. 605 01:23:09,830 --> 01:23:17,600 Great, that's been a wonderful interview. Now, anything else you'd like to say yourself, throw into the pot? 606 01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:21,720 I don't think so. I think. 607 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:35,030 But what I find very exciting is that, as I said, I said at the beginning, when I came back here in a senior capacity, I had to start a lot of fresh. 608 01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:43,450 Um, which was down here on the west side, I think that that's what I think, that office adjacent to the. 609 01:23:43,450 --> 01:23:56,960 Um. And then, of course, the actress and family finally exposed, and that was about the last person still still down here. 610 01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:07,190 Um. And that was a very weird experience, because sometimes you'd have to go up to the front desk, 611 01:24:07,190 --> 01:24:15,500 the infirmary, to collect something or deliver something, and you walk up and down that main corridor. 612 01:24:15,500 --> 01:24:26,330 Even entirely by his side, and the extraordinary thing was a series of awards disappeared out of the church. 613 01:24:26,330 --> 01:24:33,510 All the wars without his. And when there was no activity. 614 01:24:33,510 --> 01:24:42,140 The silence in the main character was extraordinary, and you never realised how nice it was until all the world shut down. 615 01:24:42,140 --> 01:24:57,300 Uh, and then when you were by yourself in this very long, um, quiet corridor, it was really quite spooky with the cockroach running around, you know. 616 01:24:57,300 --> 01:25:03,310 So then what was going to happen to academic gastroenterology? 617 01:25:03,310 --> 01:25:11,800 Um, but when I was retiring, I was about two years before I retired from the universe, 618 01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:19,540 from the NHS, so, um, four years before retiring the university sessions. 619 01:25:19,540 --> 01:25:21,420 I wrote a paper. 620 01:25:21,420 --> 01:25:34,830 On the academic gastroenterology outlining what the city had achieved and what we have done, yes, um, and saying that they really ought to be. 621 01:25:34,830 --> 01:25:44,560 A professor of gastroenterology to maintain. The academic interest is and that went about all sorts of university committees, 622 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:54,410 but it was finally agreed and good and, um, they tried hard to appoint. 623 01:25:54,410 --> 01:26:13,050 And. She was appointed a coalition, which was not a. 624 01:26:13,050 --> 01:26:20,600 But a first rate, because given mortgages in a five star on the international stage. 625 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:39,770 And, um. So that that was really exciting and, uh. 626 01:26:39,770 --> 01:26:44,830 The name of our. Which is at the John Radcliffe instead of. 627 01:26:44,830 --> 01:26:50,980 Right. That plus the offensive of the. 628 01:26:50,980 --> 01:26:59,400 Biomedical research. Um, yeah, um, as that academic gastroenterology to. 629 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:05,520 Um, transform itself into a major of, um. 630 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:11,470 So CNN has two senior lecturers, one is a gastro. 631 01:27:11,470 --> 01:27:20,920 Well, Alison is gastroenterologist does two sessions of clinical work week and then husband work is a paediatrician. 632 01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:25,650 He does two sessions with the rest of their time. 633 01:27:25,650 --> 01:27:35,520 It's in research, it's a very strong unit, and, um, so that's really very exciting to to, um. 634 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:43,830 Certainly see a Phoenix rise and you would have been succeeded by one of the two energise people. 635 01:27:43,830 --> 01:27:52,160 Uh. The whole we've got lots of gastroenterologists now, but I mean, 636 01:27:52,160 --> 01:28:02,630 Shannon Travis was here when I retired, um, they appointed, um, Sateesh Keshav, who was. 637 01:28:02,630 --> 01:28:09,830 He said, South Africa, it is difficult to set, um. 638 01:28:09,830 --> 01:28:20,910 And then they got. And that is a young Australian gastroenterologist, they just made an excellent appointment in James E, 639 01:28:20,910 --> 01:28:26,020 who who is a sort of professional and person with an academic bent. 640 01:28:26,020 --> 01:28:34,230 Um, um, and the and the Riverside Scurrah says that, um, you know, it's, uh. 641 01:28:34,230 --> 01:28:42,270 And the. About some point, another to consult. 642 01:28:42,270 --> 01:28:49,820 It's yes, and did you ever think of trying to work in the I am in the black box? 643 01:28:49,820 --> 01:29:01,150 Um. I didn't see any minute and I just wondered, you know, how that fitted into the whole picture. 644 01:29:01,150 --> 01:29:11,910 I mean, we did. We were often. Um, do you think that you had some very creative work on, um. 645 01:29:11,910 --> 01:29:23,190 In collaboration with a chemist working with Adriene Hill, went to, um, Andrew and Michael, we lived next door to each other. 646 01:29:23,190 --> 01:29:29,820 So so number of years, um, Kiki was wonderful and bouncing ideas or suggestions. 647 01:29:29,820 --> 01:29:34,350 Yeah. It's just it's, um, uh, William Rose. 648 01:29:34,350 --> 01:29:46,240 And that was a student of ours. And he worked, uh, many supervised by John Bell, if we had enough and you know, what was in the eye and a lot. 649 01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:58,050 That it was very. In some ways, inconvenient, cutting that out of the main office down here with patients in the jail. 650 01:29:58,050 --> 01:30:04,270 It actually was a godsend for research sessions. 651 01:30:04,270 --> 01:30:12,040 I had I used to be full time down here on Monday and Wednesday. 652 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:17,390 And. Because she could have had to pass the jail on the way ahead. 653 01:30:17,390 --> 01:30:22,580 Mm hmm. Yes, Ted, um, good stuff. 654 01:30:22,580 --> 01:30:35,310 Good to see. Keep patients, Constance. But it meant for most of them, Monday, Wednesday, he will not travel back in time to stay for. 655 01:30:35,310 --> 01:30:41,330 Yeah, yeah, um, that's what I'm waiting for other people. 656 01:30:41,330 --> 01:30:47,630 So actually, it turned out that the geographical separations was actually beneficial. 657 01:30:47,630 --> 01:30:52,070 You must be very proud of all that. And thank you very much for the interview. 658 01:30:52,070 --> 01:30:55,680 You said what you want. Yes. A lovely many, many thanks. 659 01:30:55,680 --> 01:31:00,650 Cheers. Still running the. 660 01:31:00,650 --> 01:31:01,595 It's got a plan.
