When I arrived in BC some 7 years ago, I took over the practice of a certain Dr. Bob Cheyne. It was a busy practice and he was much loved by his patients. He was and still is known for his willingness to do pretty much anything to support his colleagues whenever they needed a hand. He was a popular figure with his dry humour. All this I knew of Dr Cheyne. But what I didn't know was how much Bob had contributed to the history of our medical community both locally and provincially. I didn't know that he served as the head of many different hospital departments; that he had worked for Doctors of BC for many years.
