His MD thesis in 1956 on strokes radically altered the thinking at the time, differentiating thrombotic from haemorrhagic strokes. In 1962 he worked at the National Institute of Health in Washington, United States, studying the effects of birth trauma on babies. He died while on holiday, ironically from a sudden severe stroke. He leaves a wife, May; three children; and 10 grandchildren.
