Autobiography of Dr Philip Thomas, a well-known Western Australian gynaecologist and obstetrician, born in Northam, Western Australia, in 1908.
Chapters include schooling and parental background, studies at the Universities of WA and Melbourne (1926-21), hospital appointments at Northam and other places, commencement of private medical practice, and World War II.
He received his medical training in Melbourne but returned to Perth in 1937 to be appointed to the Honorary Staff of the Perth Hospital, as it was then known. Concurrently with his public hospital work, he was in private practice in Perth.
At the outbreak of the Second World War, he enlisted as a Captain and served in Palestine, Libya, Greece, Crete, Syria, and New Guinea.
He resumed his appointment at Royal Perth Hospital after the war and, for a period, 1947-49, also held the appointment of Assistant Gynaecologist at Fremantle Hospital. He retired from the staff of the Royal Perth Hospital in 1964. In 1976, he worked as a gynaecologist in Bangladesh.
