Dr Newman Benjamin Pinkus was Director of Cardiology at Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital, Melbourne from 1964 to 1984 and was an assistant physician at Austin Hospital from 1967 to 1984. As a cardiologist he established the coronary care unit at the Repatriation Hospital and ensured modern equipment was purchased for cardiac investigations as it became available. He taught medical and nursing students and had a large collection of ECG rhythm strips that he had collected from cardiac cases over the years.
He continued his affiliation with Veteran's Health after leaving Heidelberg in 1984, examining veterans applying for pensions for war related injuries. He was a respected alumnus of Trinity College at The University of Melbourne.
Newman co-authored seven articles in
Cancer
and the
Medical Journal of Australia
between 1971 and 1983 related to observations he made of acute care cardiac patients.
He married Leita and had a daughter, Jocelyn Watson. He died at Epworth Hospital from a stroke, after a long illness with vascular disease and bowel cancer.
