In his spare time he chaired the then Bendigo Regional Clinical School\u2019s Community Advisory Committee, and had been chair of the Bendigo Bombers football team. His career was cut short when he fell while cleaning his roof. He spent 15 months in hospital, lost the use of his right arm and could not walk for nine months. Through a long rehab, he has learned to do everything left-handed and he\u2019s now rightly proud that the wheelchair has been unused for over a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interests outside work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Football is a long-time passion. In 1979, Warren signed up as a member of the MCG and he\u2019s now looking forward to being able to go there and watch matches again. Last year he spent two months in Perth and went twice to the WACA, whetting his appetite for seeing the game live. He has also taken up lawn bowls \u2013 as a left-handed bowler with a mechanical bowling arm because he has trouble bending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If emperor for a day, what is one thing he would implement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Better knowledge on medical issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surprise us!
