AB In  1960  a  young  schoolmaster,  then  teaching  biology  and  chemistry  in  a  secondary  school  in  rural  Victoria,  decided  to  become  a  country  doctor.  He  was  part  of  the  first  intake  of  students  into  the  Medical  School  of  the  newly  established  Monash  University,  and  at  the  end  of  his  six-year  undergraduate  medical  course  and  subsequent  intern  and  resident  appointments  his  resolve  to  practise  community  medicine  remained  firm.  After  more  than  a  decade  in  country  practice  with  his  life  partner,  Dr  Jill  Rosenblatt,  during  which  he  meticulously  documented  the  cases  he  treated,  in  1977  John  Murtagh  took  up  an  academic  position  in  the  new  Department  of  General  Practice  at  Monash  University.  He  subsequently  moved  through  the  ranks  of  Senior  Lecturer,  Associate  Professor  and  Professor,  now  enjoying  the  title  of  Emeritus  Professor.
