Doctors writing outside the square.
Publications written by doctors about subjects outside their professional activities are often widely read and may be more enduring than their technical publications. Dr Graeme Robertson, Sir Clive Fitts and Professor Richard Lovell were three doctors from Victoria who wrote with skill and artistry about subjects outside their professional work. Here I discuss these publications and the reasons these doctors came to write them, and offer some reasons for the enduring interest of these publications.
