دانلود کتاب Deep Sleep: Harry Bailey and the Scandal of Chelmsford

Harry Bailey was one of the most paradoxical figures in Australian medical history. A charismatic man with great dreams, he was received with adulation by many, including the press and members of parliament. Yet his career was dogged by controversy and he remains the central figure in the web of destruction and intrigue that surrounds the treatment of patients at Chelmsford Private Hospital in the 1960s and 1970s.

Brian Bromberger, a legal academic who assisted the patients in their fight to have the episode uncovered, and Janet Fife-Yeomans, who followed the unfolding Chelmsford saga for the Sydney Morning Herald, have written an authoritative biography of Dr Harry Bailey, which analyses the circumstances of his spectacular life and career that ultimately ended in humiliation and suicide. The book chronicles his early life and studies, his rise to prominence, which culminated in Chelmsford and the subsequent Royal Commission. The investigations into Chelmsford have led to sweeping changes in many of the practices and systems under which the different areas of the medical profession operate. Chelmsford happened for many reasons — but central to the whole episode was Harry Bailey and the kind of man he was.
