Sometimes when you are left behind in the glare where there was once a giant sheltering you, it is worth a few moments to reflect on all that is lost, and all that you carry.
This thread will be up just briefly. About a week ago we lost our friend and colleague, Dr Neil Street.
It& #39;s a small clan who devote themselves to kids& #39; anaesthesia. Neil was the greatest of all of us.

Neil was not the greatest of us because peerless clinical abilities, though that was definitely part of the mix. He had a rare blend of insight and humanity set him apart.
For colleagues he was a source of inspiration and support, the finest alloy you can imagine of wisdom, grace and humour.
But perhaps to grasp the scale of all he did, a brief description is needed.
His work as a specialist extends back to 1987 at the kids& #39; hospital which was still based in Camperdown back then.
