In '1983, Alan Duncan suggested that it
would be a good idea to publish the list of
drug doses that I had compiled for my own
use in intensive care at the Royal Children's
Hospital in Melbourne. Alan wrote the
resuscitation table and suggested the
inclusion of normal values. The antibiotic
~Juidelines were adapted from notes written
by Mike South. Stephanie Brumby, Hob
Henning, Mike Clifford, Trevor Duke,
Johnny Millar, Jim Tibballs, Wmwicl< Butt,
and many others havG also helpGd.
