I wish to be in New Zealand , not only because of the stunning natural beauty but also to pay tribute to one of the great cardiac surgeons of our time from Auckland .
An alluring country side cricket ground abutting the runway . . . Queenstown I think !
Sir Brian Gerald Barratt-Boyes (1924-2006), Who pioneered all forms of heart surgery that specifically included complex congenial heart disease . Thousands of Kiwi children are alive and leading a magnificent life today because of this man from Green lane an alumni of Mayo .
Many heart surgeons from India and Asia pacific have trained under him .
Green lane Hospital Auckland.
This is the hospital where Barrat Boyes worked headed the department of cardiac surgery .He had to over come large bureaucratic hurdles before becoming world ‘s leading cardiac surgery center. And , he lives everyday in all cardiac units through this book .
Here is a link to pay tribute to this extraordinary man.
