Revolution in Australian surgery, 1914-1994.
Between 1914 and 1994, Australian surgery has undergone a period of unique growth and scientific revolution. It has been influenced by the effects of two world wars, two lesser engagements in Asia (Korea and Vietnam) and vast developments and social changes in the Australian Commonwealth. The pioneer surgeon, whose background was general practice, has evolved into today's member of a scientifically orientated professional body which is responsible for its own standards, training and management.
