Peter John Hurley (6 January 1940-16 August 1983) was a New Zealand doctor. He was the first fulltime physician in nuclear medicine at Auckland Hospital, 1972 and he established the Department of Nuclear Medicine there 1971-1982. He "was one of the most gifted young physicians of his generation."
Early life
Hurley was born in Bathurst, New South Wales. His family movied to Auckland when he was four. He was educated at Good Shepherd School, Balmoral and then at St Peter's College where he was Dux in 1956 and gained a Junior National University Scholarship. After his intermediate year at the University of Auckland he entered the Otago Medical School. He was president of Aquinas Hall of Residence and on graduation with distinction became a house surgeon and registrar at Auckland Hospital.
Medical career
In 1968 Hurley was a research fellow in the medical unit, Auckland Hospital and from 1969 for three years research assistant in nuclear medicine and fellow at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. When he returned to Auckland, Hurley built up the department of nuclear medicine and played a prominent part in the advancement of academic studies in the department of medicine. In 1981 he was awarded the John Hopkins Nuclear Medicine Distinguished Alumnus award.
Personal
"Music was his joy and relaxation. From an early age he played the piano and his baby grand was his prized possession. As a student he was prominent in the theatre and in Auckland he was a member of the Dorian Singers taking part in two of their very successful overseas tours. He was a quiet and modest man with many talents. The prolonged and distressing illness which ended his life prematurely was born with courage and dignity illuminated by his unobtrusive but abiding faith which never failed or faltered". He died on 16 August 1983 in Auckland at the age of 43.
