Abstract

when Murray was a third-year medical student, a cargo ship carrying fire powder exploded in Halifax, which killed around 2000 people and left 9000 injured. In the next year, Spanish flu hit the region. When even doctors succumbed to the pandemic, medical students had to fill the vacant positions.
