General practitioner Wisbech 1946-79 (b 1914; q Oxford 1943; MA), d 8 December 2001.
At Oxford Freddie Lodge found himself susceptible to beauty, rank, and connections, but, sadly, also to polio, which delayed his study and left him with some spinal curvature. He went into the navy until the war ended. By 1963 he had become a senior partner in Wisbech and an active figure in the town scene and in local medical politics. To those in the practice team, the child in him was often evident. This made him excellent value in some situations, but tying him down to details such as booking holidays could be a challenge. He wrote an amusing collection of memories of his Fenland patients, which was published in the Christmas edition of the BMJ several years ago.
