Douglas soon became involved in international affairs. He had an ability to establish rapport with all sorts ofpeople and where diplomacy was needed, he was asked to go. As early as 1966 he was one of the UKrepresentatives considering the implications for medicine of Britain joining the European Economic Community.Not only his linguistic skills but even more his wise counsel was immensely valuable When the UK eventuallyjoined in 1973 he continued to represent British anaesthesia on the Council of the UEMS and chaired itsAnaesthetic Monospecialist Committee. From 1976-1980 he served as Chairman , and later Vice–President of theExecutive Committee of the World Federation of Anaesthesiologists, and also chaired its European Section. Hewas involved too in the founding of the European Academy. During this period links with our overseas colleagueswere notably strengthened and anaesthesia was established as one of the leaders amongst the medicalspecialties.In his home country Douglas was President of the Royal Society of Medicine’s Section of Anaesthesia and of theHistory of Anaesthesia Society. During his retirement he continued to pursue studies into the history of medicine,attending professional meetings and reporting his researches in a highly entertaining way.St George’s is the hospital where John Hunter worked as a surgeon over 200 years ago. It is tempting to suggestthat they might have got on well together, John impatient, demanding and occasionally irascible, Douglas workingin an unobtrusive yet effective way, never losing his sense of humour and always just as willing to carry out themundane chores as the more prestigious ones. Although a national and international figure, he never forgot thatthe prime responsibility of a clinician is to serve his patients with skill and consideration, and to support hissurgeons and his trainees.(Adapted from text by Aileen K. Adams)Dr Richard JackDr Jack was actively involved with the WFSA in organizing the first refresher course in Moscow, working with thelate Dr John Zorab and with Dr Elena Damir, then President of the Russian Federation of Anaesthesiologists andReanimatologists. Dr Jack also organized courses in St Petersburg and, as a result of his contacts, newavenues were opened for courses in the Baltic region, and new working relationship developed with anaesthetistsfrom Eastern Europe. He was also honoured with a diploma by the Russian Federation for his achievements inthat region. Friends and family have given donations to WFSA educational projects in Eastern Europe, inmemory of Dr Jack.Dr Jack was highly respected throughout the anaesthesiology community and profession, and his good workschanged the lives of many.12
