How do you find information on 'The Burma Doctor' Dr Gordon Seagrave who was well known for his mobile clinics during World War 2 in CBI Theater?
Dr Seagrave wrote two autobiographical books, one titled "Burma Surgeon" and the other "Waste Basket Surgery", based on his experiences. You might find them in the library. Dr. Seagrave was a medical missionary before the war. My father was an Army medical officer in the CBI theater during WW II and met Dr. Seagrave. I've read a book belonging to my father about Dr. Seagrave titled: "Burma Surgeon" Gordon Seagrave was my husband's great grandfather. He also wrote a book titled "Waste Basket Surgery" about his surgeries preformed. This is also a very interesting book. Your best web search is "Burma Surgeon" or "Gordon Stifler Seagrave". The Doctor and Colonel was quite the hero and humanitarian. He performed surgery on the wounded along the Burma Road while marching in retreat from the Japanese. He earned medals for valor from Britain, Burma, and the US; an exceptional man. He had five children, four boys + one girl. One of the boys drowned at an early age. His son Sterling is an accomplished author (I wonder if he is still in hiding from the Chinese Mafia?), and along with Weston and the third son, all are unspoken war heros in their own right. Weston was an excellent cook, mastering many dishes from the Burma region.
Did Gordon s seagrave write army surgeon or any book other than Burma surgeon?
Seagrave published the sequel to "Burma Surgeon", aptly enough titled "Burma Surgeon Returns" in 1946. Publisher was W. W. Norton, binding is hardcover exactly the same as for the original "Burma Surgeon". The sequel reads like the second volume of a cohesive whole (seems like the original work might have been too long, so they published it as two volumes).
Was is medicine missionary?
Probably mean, "What is a medical missionary?" This is a person with medical training (such as a medical doctor, surgeon, nurse, etc.) who uses the training in mission work. Some examples of such mission work could be (1) working in a missionary hospital or clinic, (2) helping with a preventive health program, (3) going on short-term medical missions, or other similar things. Ultimately, it is a willingness to use one's passion and training to help others and serve God.
