De thaisme a th\u00e1inig m\u00e9 ar an leabhar neamhghn\u00e1ch seo, ar na mallaibh. S\u00edlim gur mar bhronntanas a tugadh dom \u00e9, ach cib\u00e9 faoi sin, caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il dhuit, gur bhain m\u00e9 an-taitneamh as. N\u00ed h\u00e9 anois go bhf\u00e9adf\u00e1 \u00e9<\/span> a chur i gcompar\u00e1id le leabhair mh\u00f3ra na litr\u00edochta, ach ag an am gc\u00e9anna, \u00e9ir\u00edonn leis an \u00fadar greim sc\u00f3ige a bhreith ort, sa chaoi go bhfanann t\u00fa i mbun an tsaothair sin, go mb\u00edonn an deoir dheiridh di\u00fagtha agat as. N\u00edl a fhios agam go d\u00edreach conas a \u00e9ir\u00edonn leis an \u00fadar sin a dh\u00e9anamh, n\u00f3 i nd\u00e1ir\u00edre, is \u00e9 at\u00e1 sa leabhar seo aige, n\u00f3 m\u00e1m cuimhn\u00ed caite ar ph\u00e1r, gan aon r\u00f3-eagar orthu, ach ar bhealach amh\u00e1in, n\u00f3 ar bhealach eile, \u00e9ir\u00edonn leis dra\u00edocht chorraitheach na h\u00f3ige a fh\u00ed isteach i ngach sn\u00e1ithe d<\/span>e na cuimhn\u00ed c\u00e9anna sin, sa chaoi go n-\u00e9ir\u00edonn leis dul i gcionn orainn, agus go meallann s\u00e9 sinn, si\u00fal cois ar chois leis, fan bhealach chasta a r\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>

Almost a Century ago<\/p>

F\u00e9ach mar a chuireann s\u00e9 t\u00fas lena sc\u00e9al sa ch\u00e9ad chaibidil d\u00e1 leabhar…..<\/span><\/p>

I was born on the 3<\/span>rd<\/sup><\/span> November 1909 in the village of Ranelagh, on the south side of Dublin, which was then believed to be the fifth finest city in the world.<\/span><\/p>

Sea, agus nuair a smaoin\u00edonn t\u00fa, gur chuir s\u00e9 a Chuimhn\u00ed Cinn i gcl\u00f3 sa bhliain 1999, tuigtear d\u00fainn, n\u00e1rbh aon bhun\u00f3c bliana \u00e9, ag an am, ach \u00e9 ina dhuine foirfe, aib\u00ed, cliste. N\u00ed raibh s\u00e9 ach c\u00faig bliana d\u2019aois nuair a thosaigh an Ch\u00e9ad Chogadh Domhanda. Bh\u00ed dearth\u00e1ir aige d\u00e1rb ainm Harry, agus bh\u00ed seisean seacht mbliana d\u00e9ag ag an am, agus chuaigh s\u00e9 isteach san arm,<\/span> sna Royal Dublin Fusiliers, agus ba \u00e9 cr\u00edoch an sc\u00e9il sin n\u00f3 gur cailleadh sa choimheascar c\u00e9anna sin \u00e9 mar Harry. Daoine meas\u00fala ba ea a mhuintir, ach mar sin f\u00e9in, theip ar a ngn\u00f3, agus b\u2019\u00e9igean d\u00f3ibh gearradh siar roinnt ar an st\u00edl bheatha a bh\u00ed \u00e1 cleachtadh acu, roimhe sin.<\/span><\/p>

Schooling<\/p>

I Wesley College a cuireadh oideachas air, agus inniu fh\u00e9in, smaoin\u00edonn s\u00e9 go minic ar ar dhein lucht na scoile sin ar a shon. Nuair a bh\u00ed s\u00e9 thart ar s\u00e9 bliana d\u00e9ag d\u2019aois, d\u2019fh\u00e1g s\u00e9 an scoil, agus chuaigh i mbun oibre d\u00f3 fh\u00e9in, ach tar \u00e9is bliana, chuaigh s\u00e9 chuig a athair, agus d\u00fairt leis, gur mhaith leis bheith ina dhocht\u00fair. Thoiligh an t-athair cabhr\u00fa leis sa bhfiontar sin, ar choinn\u00edoll nach ligfeadh s\u00e9 a r\u00fan le h\u00e9inne. Tuigeadh don \u00fadar, nach raibh ar a chumas adhmad ar bith a bhaint as na c\u00farsa\u00ed a<\/span> bh\u00ed le d\u00e9anamh aige, ach ag an am gc\u00e9anna, bh\u00edodh na boinn agus on\u00f3racha eile, \u00e1 ngn\u00f3thacht\u00e1il ina mbrosna aige. D\u2019\u00e9irigh leis na c\u00e9imeanna cu\u00ed a bhaint amach, agus f\u00e9ach gur \u00e9irigh thar barr leis……<\/span><\/p>

I had taken my fellowship immediately after qualifying. I went into the School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and there I met a man called Dr. Petrie who was a missionary in Aden. He invited me to go for a locum to a place called Sheik Othman…….I had a wonderful time there performing surgery, getting <\/span>vast experience and learning all about the customs of the Arabs.<\/span><\/p>

Special Skills<\/p>

Bh\u00ed go maith is n\u00ed raibh go holc, mar b\u2019in an cine\u00e1l duine a bh\u00ed ann, duine a bhain toit agus taitneamh as a shaol mar dhocht\u00fair, agus duine a raibh scileanna neamhghn\u00e1cha aige, agus \u00e9 i mbun a cheirde. Bh\u00ed bua leighis de dhl\u00fath agus d\u2019inneach ann, agus caithfidh m\u00e9 a admh\u00e1il, gur bhain m\u00e9 fh\u00e9in an-taitneamh as l\u00e9amh faoina shaol agus a shaothar mar dhocht\u00fair. Nach cuimhin leat an seanfhocal adeir \u201cD\u00e1 mbeadh fios, aige bheadh leigheas aige\u201d, bhuel, bh\u00ed idir fhios agus leigheas ag an nDocht\u00fair dra\u00edochta seo<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>

A Skilled Hypnotist<\/p>

Ba dhocht\u00fair \u00e9 a raibh an-scil go deo aige sa hipneois, agus ba mhinic a bhaineadh s\u00e9 \u00fas\u00e1id as an scil ch\u00e9anna sin, nuair nach mbeadh ar a chumas, n\u00f3 nuair nach mb\u00edodh f\u00e1il aige, ar aon chine\u00e1l eile anaest\u00e9isigh, a bheadh oiri\u00fanach don ghn\u00f3 a bh\u00ed idir lamha aige. ag an am. F\u00e9ach mar a chuirtear sa R\u00e9amhr\u00e1 \u00e9….<\/span><\/p>

He performed over 4,000 procedures using hypnosis as an anaesthetic without any pain. Some of the operations were very big, but the stories he tells in the book are fascinating and humorous.<\/span><\/p>

Ba dhuine \u00e9 a chaith sealanna in \u00e1iteacha \u00e9ags\u00fala, \u00f3 cheann ceann na cruinne d\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a r\u00e1, agus uaireannta, n\u00ed go r\u00f3-mhaith, n\u00f3 go r\u00f3-fhial, a chaith a chomhdhocht\u00fair\u00ed leis, ach thar aon rud eile, tabharfaidh an l\u00e9itheoir faoi deara, nach raibh cro\u00ed an docht\u00fara seo sa scilling. Cuma c\u00e1 ghabhfadh s\u00e9, d\u2019fh\u00e1gfadh s\u00e9 a rian ar chleachtadh an Leighis sa d\u00faiche sin, ina dhiaidh, n\u00f3 ba dhuine \u00e9, a bh\u00ed s\u00e1sta i gc\u00f3na\u00ed, a scileanna a roinnt ar a chomhleacaithe, agus ag an am gc\u00e9anna, ba bhre\u00e1 leis i gc\u00f3na\u00ed scilean<\/span>na nua a phiocadh suas, tr\u00ed bheith ag breathn\u00fa ar dhocht\u00fair\u00ed eile agus iad i mbun oibre.<\/span><\/p>

Chaith s\u00e9 roinnt d\u00e1 shaol i N\u00e1s na R\u00ed, \u00e1it ar chleachtaigh s\u00e9 a cheird in Ospid\u00e9al an bhaile sin, sea, agus d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis freisin, fad is a bh\u00ed s\u00e9 ansin, oidhreacht an bhaile sin a chaomhn\u00fa, tr\u00ed sheantithe a athnuachan agus a athch\u00f3iri\u00fa. Sea, ba dhuine ild\u00e1nach \u00e9 an Docht\u00fair Gibson.<\/span><\/p>

Snorers cured<\/p>

Nach ait freisin mar a d\u2019\u00e9ir\u00edodh leis leigheas a fh\u00e1il ar an tsranntarnach fh\u00e9in fi\u00fa, f\u00e9ach mar a chuireann s\u00e9 fh\u00e9in \u00e9 …..<\/span><\/p>

When I went into a ward at night. I would find some people sleeping, some of them snoring and the reamainder who were longing to sleep and probably feeling some pain or feeling sick. I would go to the people who were wide awake and say to them the anaesthetic or the injection is still in the blood and if they will relax a little, they will fall asleep and the pain will disappear. I then put my hand on them and I would say \u2018Sleep\u2019 and they would drop into a deep sleep and stay asleep.<\/span><\/p>

Dheineadh s\u00e9 an cleas c\u00e9anna leis na daoine a bh\u00ed ag sranntarnach. Deireadh s\u00e9 leosan..<\/span><\/p>

Keep breathing, don\u2019t waken up, you will stop snoring, your throat will remain alive and you will sleep very peacefully.<\/span><\/p>

Agus mar sin leis, go dt\u00ed go mbeadh ci\u00faneas sa bharda ar fad, agus chuile dhuine de na hothair ina thoirchim suain agus s\u00e1mhchodlata.<\/span><\/p>

Sea, ba dhocht\u00fair ann fh\u00e9in \u00e9 an Docht\u00fair Gibson, agus n\u00e1rbh iontach an gaisce aige \u00e9 an leabhar seo a chr\u00edochn\u00fa ina n\u00f3chad\u00fa bliain, i ndeireadh na haoise seo caite.<\/span><\/p>

M\u00e1s sc\u00e9al suimi\u00fail, neamhghn\u00e1ch, corraitheach, dra\u00edochta, at\u00e1 uait, ba ch\u00f3ir duit l\u00e1mh a leagan ar an leabhar seo. N\u00ed bheidh a chath\u00fa ort…<\/span><\/p>
