Biography

Business entrepreneur and innovator, celebrity and medico, Professor Geoffrey Edelsten reveals all in this long-awaited biography. It covers his life from a musical entrepreneur with Festival Records, Glenn Shorrock and his company Hit Productions to his medical career as a country doctor, city businessman and nigh club owner. His ground-breaking medical clinics introduced computerised records to Australia, revolutionised pathology sampling processes and stayed open for 24 hours, a model that has been copied all over the world. When he bought the Sydney Swans in 1985, he was on top of the world. But it was not to be for long. In a case involving innuendo and interpretation, and phone tapping, Edelsten was jailed for a year supposedly for bribing a hitman. After 12 months in jail and despite everything he has been through, Edelsten continues to fight to clear his name. Against all odds, his high-profile wedding to Brynne Gordon has been a major step on his road to recovery, as his super clinics thrive once again.
