Synopsis
A distinguished epidemiologist, well known for his acclaimed book "Effectiveness and Efficiency" and first President of the Faculty of Community Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians, Professor Cochrane became a man who regularly challenged the medical establishment. This book details his life and career, covering such highlights as psychoanalysis with Freud's disciple Theodor Reik in Germany during the early 1930s; service with the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War; service as a POW medical officer during World War II, for which he received an MBE; an attempt to X-ray all the miners in the Rhondda Fach in the early 1950s in a search for the causes of the most disabling form of pneumoconiosis; and the development of widescale epidemiological interests nationally and internationally.
