68. Dr James Barry - the Medical Pioneer with a Secret!

Dr James Barry was the very first European doctor to perform a
caesarean section in which both mother and baby survived, he was
a pioneer in preventative medicine, befriended a revolutionary
and had a spat with the lady with the lamp herself, Florence
Nightingale. Despite such accolades and an exciting life, a
secret was discovered upon Barry's death that created a scandal
and caused the British military to seal Dr Barry's records for a
hundred years.


orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard
of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging
accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of
feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.
