Raigmore surgeon who helped deaf community dies aged 87
Tribute to inverness specialist who remained as locum until he was 70
Published: 12/01/2009 Inverness Press & Journal
A long-serving Inverness surgeon, who dedicated his life to helping deaf people, has died after a long illness, aged 87.
Arnold Grier, of 68 Culduthel Road, Inverness, died at his home on Thursday morning after suffering a stroke. He had been ill for several years.
Mr Grier was born in 1921 and raised in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh.
He began training as an actuary, but just days after he turned 18, World War II began.
He served in the Royal Engineers, rising to the rank of captain, and also helped with the development of radar, which was vital to the wartime defence of Britain.
After returning home, Mr Grier decided to follow his passion for medicine.
He qualified as an ear, nose and throat surgeon from Edinburgh University, before studying for a Fellowship in Surgery.
During his time in Edinburgh, Mr Grier met his Dutch wife Elisabeth, who was in Scotland on a six-week nursing placement.
In 1962 the couple married, a few months after moving to Inverness when Mr Grier was appointed consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon at the Royal Northern Infirmary.
He later moved to Raigmore Hospital where he remained until his retirement in 1986, aged 65. He remained a locum at the hospital until he was 70.
Mr Grier was heavily involved in the Scottish Association for the Deaf, becoming its national vice-president, and the Highland Association for the Deaf.
During his career he was an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons, an honorary lecturer at Aberdeen University and helped develop a training course for medical secretaries at Inverness College.
In his spare time he was a keen gardener and enjoyed breeding budgies.
He is survived by his wife, three children Arnold, Geraldine and Rik and granddaughter Lissie.
Consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon at Raigmore Hospital, Bill McKerrow, said: "Mr Grier served patients in the Highlands for almost 30 years, working beyond his retirement to provide cover for colleagues as a locum. He was always obliging and friendly and a popular figure in the ENT field in Scotland."
A funeral service will be held tomorrow at 1pm at Ness Bank Church of Scotland, Inverness.
