Description

In the third part of our conversation, Terence O’Rourke looks back on his young adulthood in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starting work in an architect’s office and becoming a student. 

 

This was an important time for Terence. He was studying with his peers for the first time and embarking on the early stages of what would become a very successful career.

 

Terence also reflects on how his haemophilia was treated during this time – and how he questioned the accepted methods of treating bleeds at a time when most people accepted that doctors knew best.
