[edit] Trivia
His father, Arthur Rendle Short, was a professor of surgery at Bristol University and has the unfortunate distinction of being the man who encouraged suspected serial killer John Bodkin Adams to practice medicine in Eastbourne.[1] Despite being controversially found not-guilty of murder in a trial in 1957, Home Office pathologist Francis Camps suspected Adams of killing 163 patients between 1946 and 1956 while working in Eastbourne.[2]
