Obituary of Lindsay Grigg

Lindsay Grigg
Cardiothoracic Surgeon
16 September 1927 - 18 June 2017

Lindsay Grigg undertook his training in Melbourne, and then went to London where he undertook training in cardiothoracic surgery before returning to Australia. He also worked for a few years in Uganda where he did thoracic surgery and wrote about management of pyopericardium.

He worked for a year in Hong Kong and upon return to Australia worked as a thoracic and vascular surgery in Canberra until his retirement in 1991. He continued to be active in surgery and was assessing surgeons until a year before his death.
