Account of the rebuilding of the author’s hospital in post-war Burma, of his training of Burmese medical personnel, and of his undeserved trial for treason. First published in 1957, this is the account of the rebuilding of the author’s hospital in post-war Burma, of his training of Burmese medical personnel, and of his undeserved trial for treason. The book also portrays the social, economic, political and historical aspects of The Union of Burma during her early days of independence. Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave was a famous surgeon who opened his missionary hospital in Namhkam, a small town in northern Shan State, from which he established himself as an outstanding surgeon, known all over the world as “Burma Surgeon.” His previous bestsellers, Burma Surgeon (1943), Dr. Seagrave’s account of his medical mission in the jungle wilds, and the follow-up Burma Surgeon Returns (1946), which tells the story of what happened to him and his hospital unit after the retreat to India, portrayed his ‘open-door-policy’ to all those patients, rich or poor, who came from every corner of the country. My Hospital in the Hills further cements Dr. Seagrave’s reputation as a real life-saver at a time where there were very few skilled surgeons in the early and turmoil days of The Union.
