• Notes

  Ruth Anne Breithaupt, a nurse, joined the anaesthetic staff at Christie Street Veterans' Hospital, and hoped to "live happily ever after." However, war soon loomed, and a phone call at 0200 on September 1, 1939 "invited" him to report, at 0900 the same day, to the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps to become an army anaesthetist. Overseas, he served first with the Fifteenth Canadian General Hospital and, from 1941 to I945, with the Basingstoke Neurological and Plastic Surgery Hospital. After the war, Rod remained in the RCAMC (Reserve), becoming a full colonel in 1949.... CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ANAESTHESIA 1994 / 4l: pp1-2 Alan W. Conn, Toronto
