Fact and Fiction: exploring the history of medicineAbout this Event
Missing Skulls and a Flying Coffin: a Pink and Wong Mystery by Ross Jones
On a blustery winter day in Melbourne's Oddfellow's clinic for the sick poor, Dr Ambrose Pink's life changed dramatically and irreversibly. As a consequence he would meet a famous diva and an Australian prime minister. He would cross swords with terrorists, chefs, surgeons, fascists and anthropologists with ancient skulls. And all of this was because on that day in Fitzroy he was presented with a tiny baby with a disease that didn't exist.
In our 150th year, hear from authors of books that centre around First Nations Healing practices, innovators and leaders in medicine and social change to M**der mysteries and novels grounded in medical history. These autobiographies, biographies and flights of fancy will inspire and amaze as fact is sometimes more surprising than fiction.
