Special delivery
the life of the celebrated British obstetrician William Nixon
de Geoffrey Chamberlain · Publicada por primera vez en 2004
Professor William Nixon directed the Obstetric Unit at University College Hospital (UCH), London, for twenty years from 1946 to 1966. These were innovative times in obstetrics and gynaecology and Nixon was among the innovators. Much that is now accepted as normal good practice was pioneered by him and today's management of pregnant women and their babies stems from his work.He was a humane doctor and he expected this of all who worked with him. Pregnancies come from two people and William Nixon saw to it at UCH that both were recognised. Thoughtful treatment of father and mother were the norm. In both obstetrics and gynaecology, Nixon's researches led to new scientific ideas being introduced first at UCH, then nationally and in turn worldwide. Professor Nixon sent the men and women that he trained to all parts of the world and there they carried his principles, which still live on.
