Euan Watson

 

Job Talk Wednesday 21 May 2002

 

The Bulletin(28 May 2003) reports:

Dr Euan Watson was born in New Zealand (sometime in the Dark Ages), attended Auckland University, eventually studying at Dunedin Medical School. 

Against all odds(!), Euan married the beautiful Leedy in 1967, when he also graduated. 

A capitalist even in his student days, Euan became a landlord while still a student.  As a young doctor, Euan tells us he delivered 873 babies in 15 months; quite a feat (helped a little by the mothers, we believe). 

After a stint of service in the flying ambulance, Euan and Leedy travelled to Australia in 1970, where the young medico worked, at St George Hospital, for a year.  In 1971, he opened a practice in Bankstown, where he has remained ever since. 

Euan joined Rotary in 1990, where he has continued to be a valued and vigorous member.
