Offline: One life
St Margaret’s Church, Westminster Abbey. A service of thanksgiving for the life and work of Professor Roger Greenhalgh. Amid the hymns and bible readings, family and former colleagues remembered the life of this unusual vascular surgeon—a man who cared about whether the techniques he was applying to patients had any evidence to support them at all. As I say, unusual. The Reverend Canon presiding over the event, Ralph Godsall, called Greenhalgh’s work “pioneering”. It was. The Lancet had the privilege of publishing some of his most important randomised trials (eg, EVAR 1).
