In 2008 at his 65th birthday dinner, John Boulton drew attention to his own foibles. Eccentricities such as ruthlessly interrogating the sociological and cultural, as well as biomedical, circumstance of the sick Indigenous children that came into his care. Peculiarities such as transcribing into endless field notebooks and the family connections of Indigenous people who saw him as an uncle and a trusted physician.
