He died in April 2019, from Cancer, and an Obituary of his life can be found on-line, which is very informative - I think it was published in The Telegraph. He hailed from California, US, where he did most of his training, but came to the UK in the 1980's.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377923390980227833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-37984352964857607312021-05-19T13:29:57.653-04:002021-05-19T13:29:57.653-04:00No mention of the late Professor Richard Green the...No mention of the late Professor Richard Green then. I was a patient of his for about three years, up to 2008, before he retired and I was transferred to Dr. James Barrett, who I saw a couple of times, in 2008, when I was signed off from GIC. I went to The Claybrook Centre throughout this period. I consider myself very privelaged to have been one of Professor Green's patients - he was a lovely, understanding and gentle man. Dr. Barrett was very pleasant when I saw him too. Both were very pleased when I told them I had become Engaged to be Married (the happy day was in 2010) and Professor Green always said that finding someone to love would help me put my Gender problem back in its box. He was absolutely right, it did - and still does to a great extent. I shall never forget him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377923390980227833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-33466588380923764572021-04-21T00:04:55.280-04:002021-04-21T00:04:55.280-04:00I attended the Gender Unit in 1960 where I met Joh...I attended the Gender Unit in 1960 where I met John Randell. Even though I was not crossdressed, I was very nervous about visiting as my cousin-in-law, John Pendower was a senior surgeon there as well as being the Dean; had I met him, I would have had a problem explaining my presence.<br />John Randell gave me the creeps and that was reinforced when he insisted on a pic of me in a dress. I hadn't realised the full extent of his controlling personality until I saw the video on this site.Dr Rosie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414291157737460630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-41654465814566325102021-04-20T23:46:06.169-04:002021-04-20T23:46:06.169-04:00I was a patient of John Randall in 1960 albeit for...I was a patient of John Randall in 1960 albeit for a single consultation. The man gave me the creeps. When he finally asked me for a photograph in female clothes, I finally freaked out and never returned. Mind you I was also nervous about visiting the hospital as my cousin-in-law, Dr John Pendower, was the Dean of Medicine and senior surgeon; had he bumped into me, he would have been outraged, in that he was such a rigidly conservative doctor.Dr Rosie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414291157737460630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-63229707012342815352019-08-30T12:37:11.229-04:002019-08-30T12:37:11.229-04:00I was a patient of John Randall and Peter Philip f...I was a patient of John Randall and Peter Philip from 1974 through SRS in 1976 and did an experimental and very simplified precursor to what much later would be facial reconstruction there in 1978. They had asked if I was willing to volunteer. I was signed off in about 1981. I dedicated one of my first books to Dr R and Mr P as a thank you for giving me a future.Three bats in a barnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331163802170980166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-65483597113906624832018-09-14T10:16:28.656-04:002018-09-14T10:16:28.656-04:00Just a quick note re the move from the Claybrook C...Just a quick note re the move from the Claybrook Centre to Fulham Palace Road, I was a patient at CX GIC from 2003-2007 and all my pre-op appointments were at the Claybrook Centre. The only time I went to Fulham Palace Road was for my signing-off appointment in March 2007. Also, at the time I was a patient, the surgeons' appointments were in the main hospital block although after I had left the system their appointments were also in Fulham Palace Road.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819726218492699746noreply@blogger.com
