Carbon Monoxide and the Impaired Driver
CARBON MONOXIDE AND THE IMPAIRED DRIVER A Medico-Legal commentary on carbon monoxide including its interactions with alcohol and human factors in affecting driving performance BY DR. R.A. WESTERMAN AND MR. A. L. BENJAMIN Delivered at a Meeting of the Medico-Legal Society held on 8th April, 1978 at 8.30 pm at the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Spring Street, Melbourne. The Chairman of the Meeting was the President, Dr. J. Billings. 4gr-ri HE Impaired Driver" was the title of a paper delivered to the Medico-Legal Society of Victoria in 1970 by Dr. John H. W. Birrell and the late Mr. Ray Dunn LL.M., and both authors were primarily concerned with alcohol as a cause of driver impairment. However, Dr. Birrell glanced in passing at another contributory fac- tor (an under-estimated factor, in our submission) when he said "The role of carbon monoxide, I regret, seems to be important only as a legal defence. The Melbourne City Coroner estimated carbon monoxide routinely in his crash deaths for many months some years ago. He gave it away when he found only two positive both of whom had burnt to death": Recent enquiry from the Government Pathologist establishes that the present practice in Victoria is not to include in post mortem ex- aminations tests for possible carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, unless police request such tests by reason of suspicious circumstances such as in cases of suspected suicide by inhalation of CO. Alcohol is of undeniable importance as a contributing factor to many traffic accidents (Birrell, 1974; Current Affairs Bulletin, 1970; Department of Health, Victoria, 1974; Drew et al. -
Oral History Filmed by Elisabeth Crosbie, 21 May 2015
IAN HAYDEN Edited transcript of interview with Juliette Brodsky for Foley’s List oral history filmed by Elisabeth Crosbie, 21 May 2015 Part 1 – A Footballer in the Making Q Ian Hayden, thank you very much for making time to be interviewed for Foley’s List. You’re on the verge of retiring, I believe, after a good 50 years’ practice at the Victorian Bar – do you feel ready to take this step? A Not quite ready - no! Q: Are you going to continue on – is that the plan? A: I’m going to continue, yes. Q: I just saw Brian Bourke in the corridor who I previously interviewed for the oral history ten years ago – he must be coming up for 60 years at the Bar now. Or is it more? A: I think it would be approaching 60 – (he signed the Roll in) 1955 - my word, very few have that longevity in this place. Q: Does it seem like 50 years for you? Or more like a flash?! A Like a flash. In fact, some periods jump out more than others. I haven’t been a great diary keeper or anything like that – it seems to have passed very, very quickly. Q: You gave an entertaining talk to a Bar cocktail party recently. In the course of that talk, did you have any advice for young barristers? A: I recall suggesting that you can’t take too many notes, which is not very useful these days. These days, you can – with laptops and iPads, etc – but I was more thinking of when I first came to the Bar. -
