David McCallum

In Loving Memory of

David was a much-loved member of our Anaesthetic Department in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

With an easy smile, he had tremendous kindness and was a deeply caring professional to his patients and colleagues. He is sorely missed by all who knew him, be it for only a short time or over many years of friendship.

We hope that this book can provide an opportunity for all those that knew David to share their feelings, stories, pictures and anecdotes to celebrate the life of such a wonderful man.

David was such a friendly and kind man. I only had the pleasure of working with him directly on a handful of occasions as an anaesthetic trainee, but he always made time to talk to me, even in passing in the corridor. His manner with his patients and his care for them was exemplary …

I worked with Dr McCallum as a ward nurse within Orthopaedics both at the old Royal and the New site. He was always so caring with the patients and also the staff. He had a very easy manner that also meant that you learnt things from him almost by osmosis. A great miss. …
