This Won't Hurt - Tom Austin Tom Austin's fascinating and informative story tells of his progress from medical school to the field of anaesthesia, 'field' in this instance being wholly apt. In his time as an army officer he served in Germany, Cyprus at a time when bullets flew between Turk and Greek, Moscow at the height of the Cold War and Belfast in the Troubles. His work also took him to North Africa, North America and the Far East, and not least to Cardiff. Why 'not least'? Because he happened to be there at the time of a Papal visit and was part of the medical team assigned to watch over His Holiness! Dr Austin has had that happy knack of being at the centre of many important events, reported candidly in this highly readable book. Indeed, so candid is the reporting that the impression is conveyed that no one is more surprised at him being there than the author himself! As well as being an entertaining book, it is also an important histotical document which gives an insight into many of the pivotal events of the last half of the 20th century from a unique perspective.
