Dear CC Listers, Does anyone know who the first Doctor was in this area and when ? When the first hospital opened and where it was ? Was no Westpac rescue helicopter back in 1835 :-) Bye Marg Morters

----- > Does anyone know who the first Doctor was in this area and when ? Had a nose around Tuggarah Library re the info Gwen gave . Looks like Robert AULD was the first Doctor. He is in the 1841 census. for Brisbane Water The other 2 Drs Robert BELL and Barker J BENSON ( sounds American ? ) were here in the 1840's but not in the census All 3 of thoses fellows get a mention in SWANCOTTs books mostly sueing their patients for non payment of accounts ! > When the first hospital opened and where it was ? Gosford District in 1945 was the first major one. Be a very interest subject to pursue.......... Bye Marg Morters List Owner NSW Central Coast Mailing List Gosford, NSW Australia
