Arnold Tweed was raised on a rural Manitoba farm and considers himself a son of the soil, once removed. His grounding in rural life was solidified by the one-room country schools that he attended for the first seven years of his education. Then after finishing high school in Killarney, he studied science at Brandon college, graduating in 1959. It was in Brandon where he met Glenyce, and they have now been together for over 60 years. He graduated with an MD from the University of Manitoba in 1964. His medical career has included general practice, emergency medicine, intensive care and anesthesiology and has been interspersed with medical research, teaching and medical administration- and more recently, writing his memoirs. His first book, Medical Misadventures, describes some of his unusual medical misadventures. Dr. Tweed will have both books available.
