What was the world of Geelong's legendary Thomas Ambrose Bowen
(1916-1982) really like? What do those who who flocked to him have
to say about his talent to "fix them" when credentialed and envious
others failed? Step into Tom's time - the '40s to early '80s,
brought alive by the memory of touch and his attentive, but no-fuss
presence. Meet his grateful patients and Rene Horwood, loyal clinic
organiser and enduring ally to the end. There's Ron Garner, a
forgotten comate till now who stops awhile bringing gifts of White
Magic. Be surprised at what's in store and what three of his
professional apprentices Drs.Neave, Smeeton and Ryan reveal about
Tom's healing hands and the unsung finesse at the heart of his
work. Former politician Rod Mackenzie, OAM shows us the
parliamentary gates that opened to the cold, regulatory winds of
change that robbed Tom of due recognition for his life's
accomplishments. With Heather, a daughter's insight; join sister
Agnes in childhood and at the end for a forbidden cigarette.
Finally, a second leg amputation courted by the cause of his
untimely death. Healing Hands, Unsung Voices is a celebratory
centennial anthology in memory of a gifted and exceptional human
being.
