Professional life and career
Postgraduate career
After graduation as a medical doctor, Waine presumably completed house jobs. From September 1939 to July 1948 he was a single handed general practitioner at Byfield, Northamptonshire with anaesthetic duties at Rugby Hospital. For the duration of the Second World War he was Medical Officer to the War Office (courtesy title “Captain”) for troops in the district between Banbury and Daventry, also attending to evacuee children and prisoners of war. By 1947 he was Hon. Temp. Anaesthetist at the Hospital of St Cross, Rugby. In 1950 he was appointed Consultant Anaesthetist to the Coventry Hospitals, in which post he remained until his retirement in 1973.
Professional interests and activities
He was a member of the British Medical Association and of the Association of Anaestetists. At Coventry he took a keen interest in the training of junior anaesthetists. Much involved in management, he was chairman of the regional advisory committee on anaesthetics 1963-67, and chairman of the Anaesthetic Division, Coventry Group of Hospitals 1970-73. He was President of the Midland Society of Anaesthetists 1970-71, and President of Rugby Medical Society 1970-72. His idea (1959) of using the ventilator produced by Cape Engineering Company Ltd. as part of an anaesthetic machine came to fruition as the Cape Waine anaesthetic machine. (See British Journal of Anaesthesia 1962; 34: 410-16). He also published jointly on thiopentone and on an oxygen failure warning device.
Other biographical information
He married Mary Goodson in 1944 and they had two sons. Taking up golf in his fifth decade, he continued to enjoy it in retirement, along with bridge, antiques and travel. Predeceased by his wife, he died at the age of 91 years, survived by his two sons and three grandchildren.
