From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Raymond Greene (1901-1982) was a Doctor of Medicine and mountaineer, brother of the novelist Graham Greene and the broadcaster Hugh Greene.
Known by his second name, Raymond Greene qualified as a doctor in 1927. In 1931 he was part of the team which climbed Kamet (at the time, the highest mountain to have been climbed), and in 1933 he was the senior doctor on the fourth British expedition to Mount Everest (in 1953 when the mountain was finally climbed, it was Greene who made the announcement on the BBC). He went on to become an expert in the treatment of thyroid problems, migraine and frostbite, and between 1960 and 1980 he was chairman of Heinemann Medical Books. His autobiography, Moments of Being, was published in 1974.
