Professional life and career
Postgraduate career
Limited information is available regarding her career. It is assumed that after graduation in 1939 she undertook her initial house jobs in the Birmingham area, followed by her anaesthetic training. She undertook anaesthesia at the United Birmingham Hospitals and became a consultant at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. According to the Medical Directory she retired in 1977.
Professional interests and activities
According to the transcript of an oral history by Dr David Zuck, he recalled that in the mid-1940s Marion Green did all the neurosurgical anaesthesia at Birmingham, using closed circuit with a Coxeter-Mushin absorber. There is available a newspaper report of a coroner’s case in February 1952, involving a male patient who died under anaesthesia for dental clearance; he had heart disease consequent on infection from bad teeth. Dr Green was a witness and she is recorded as being anaesthetist at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
