Per The Royal College Of Surgeons, George Grey Turner, After Work At King's College Hospital, London, And In Vienna, He Returned To Newcastle And Quickly Made His Name On The Staff Of The Royal Victoria Infirmary And As A Lecturer In The Medical School. He Also Built Up The Largest Surgical Practice In The North Of England By His Skill And Energy. Following Rutherford Morison, Whom He Always Revered As A Master, He Made His Own Notable Contribution To The Great Tradition Of Newcastle Surgery, Which Has Developed Independently Of Both London And Edinburgh.
