Small Town Northern Ireland
E Magnus Ohman, MD: Hello. I'm Magnus Ohman. Welcome to the Life and Times of Leading Cardiologists. We are very fortunate to have Dr John McMurray here today, who is going to talk a little bit about his life.
But before we get into that, I want to acknowledge the prior host of this program, Dr Califf, who ran this series for 5 years. It is a great honor for me to follow in his footsteps and continue the tradition of finding out a little bit more about people's lives.
So John, welcome to this program.
John JV McMurray, MB ChB (Hons), MD: Thank you.
Dr Ohman: So tell me, you are currently in Scotland, professor of cardiology at Glasgow, but where did it all start? Where were you born?
Dr McMurray: I was born in a little town in the Northwest of Ireland called Enniskillen because my father came from there. In fact, he came from a small farm nearby, but he had left the farm at that time and was working in the town of Enniskillen, and that is where I was born.
Dr Ohman: Great. And this is in Fermanagh, so we are talking Northern Ireland, close to the border to the Republic of Ireland, I presume?
