THE BIG HOUSE

Hugh Cameron, MB ChB 1969

This is the story of the operating room in one of the world's storied General hospitals, in the seventies and eighties, after Woodstock, as told by a world famous orthopedic surgeon, Hugh Cameron, and his long time scrub nurse and friend, Edna Quammie.

It tells of the thrills and spills - sometimes funny, sometimes sad - about life in the OR and of larger than life characters, many now long gone. A group of nurses, doctors and orderlies meet annually and this is the tale of their youth, a snapshot of history of the free wheeling times past.
