Meet The Erudite Surgeons of UCH in the 1960/70s Era(@Poju Oyemade on FB). This must have been taken in the 70's. I got it off a friend's page and like he said "UCH Legendary Surgeons & Physicians." This was when UCH was one of the top ten hospitals in the whole of the Commonwealth I.e ( Britain and its past colonies)
My father is in the back row seventh from the left and eighth counting from the right. He is literally in the middle. He was an orthopaedic surgeon.
Top brains here. I don't want to mention any names so I don't leave out anyone.If you recognise any of these people you can mention their names in the comments section. @ Poju Oyemade on Facebook

Your dad was my mum's orthopedic doctor when she had a fall in 1993. I think Prof Ajao is the one next to your Dad.
The only woman there is Prof Oyinade Olurin nee Odutola. An ophthalmologist per excellence. Most of my folks as children, got our first pair of glasses at the Vision house, her private practice in Mokola, Ibadan. She always had sweets for us. Memories! @Oluwadamilola Grillo on Facebook
