Retro-auricular: A Personal Journey
Through Literary and Historical History
By Brian Cleary, PhD, Chief Pharmacist at the Rotunda Hospital
In this talk, Brian Cleary will use William Wilde’s retro-auricular incision as a starting point for a journey through medical and literary history. He will use his personal experience of sudden hearing loss, single-sided deafness, and severe tinnitus as a lens to guide you through historical treatment approaches. Brian will trace the different interconnected timelines and an unexpected turn of events with his groundbreaking discovery of Bram Stoker’s Gibbet Hill which attracted worldwide attention.
ALL WELCOME. Please register on the link. All registrants will receive the Zoom link on the morning of the talk. This is a Free event.
