According to the Royal College of Anesthetists’ site, Dr Alec Hugh Musgrove FFARCS MRCS LRCP DA (Dec 1, 1901 to April 17, 1966) “began his professional career in general practice, which he continued until 1941, but his interest in anaesthesia took up an increasing proportion of his time. He was appointed visiting anaesthetist to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary in 1935, this including a responsibility for teaching anaesthesia. In 1942 he was appointed a clinical teacher at the Welsh National School of Medicine. In 1948 he was appointed an honorary consulting anaesthetist to the Welsh Hospital Board and United Cardiff Hospitals, which included sessions at Sully Hospital. He retired in 1964.” He “was the first anaesthetist in Cardiff to use intravenous barbiturates, controlled hypotension and hypothermia, and he was a pioneer of thoracic anaesthesia. He was a member of Council, AAGBI from 1945 to 1948 and in the latter year was elected a Fellow of the Association and nominated to the first board of Faculty. In 1949 he became the first President of the newly formed Society of Anaesthetists of South Wales.”
