Details:
The son of a Wesleyan Minister, entered Charing Cross Hospital as the Livingstone Scholar in 1892, and distinguished himself as a student by gaining several prizes, also the Llewllyn Scholarship in 1896. He afterwards acted as House Surgeon and as House Physician. Whilst in the latter post he observed and published a rare instance of aneurysm in a boy aged 15. The large aneurysm of the first part of the aorta had ruptured into the pericardium. There was besides a persistent thymus the size of the hand, but no other explanation of the disease.
After supplementary attendance at St Bartholomew’s Hospital he passed the FRCS examination in 1899 and settled in practice in Brixton. But his health soon failed, and he had to retire to Margate, where he died on March 5th, 1901.
