Gordon, Hugh Walker

  • Persoon
  • 1897-1987

Born in Maxwelton, Kirkcudbrightshire. His father, H. Sharpe Gordon, was a solicitor. Educated at Marlborough before entering the Army in the RFA; he was wounded and invalided out in 1918, receiving the Military Cross. After the war he entered Pembroke College, Cambridge, initially to study history but changing to natural sciences.

He won a scholarship to the medical school at St George's Hospital. After qualification he obtained the post of resident medical officer for one year, before studying dermatology and radiotherapy at St Louis Hospital in Paris, France and Vienna, Austria. On his return to London he was employed at St John's Hospital, Lewisham, the Shadwell Children's Hospital and the East Ham Memorial Hospital.

In 1933, he joined the staff at St George's Hospital as assistant skin physician, relinquishing his three previous appointments, but adding two others at the West London Hospital and the Cancer (now the Royal Marsden) Hospital in Fulham Road. His roles at St George's later also encompassed those of an administrator and acting dean of the medical school, as well as director of the V.D. (veneral diseases) department. He was responsible for the introduction of female students from Cambridge to St George's following the Second World War; while women had been allowed to study medicine at St George's during the First World War, they had not been admitted in the interwar period.

In 1939 Gordon was appointed sector dermatologist to the EMS Sector Seven which entailed weekly visits to a number of hospitals. At the Cancer Hospital he became an expert at treating the various skin malignancies, and his previous interest in radiotherapy proved valuable. He soon became intrigued by the possible role of hypnosis in the treatment of various skin conditions, and with the assistance of Kathryn Cohen (who had studied at St George's as one of the first female students in 1945 and was working at St George's Hospital as a psychoanalyst) and S. Mason, he undertook a study and presented the results to the 1952 International Congress in London.

In 1963 he was president of the British Association of Dermatologists, and also president of the dermatological section of the Royal Society of Medicine. He was chairman of the medical staff committee at St George's for three years and was Governor of St George's Hospital 1948-1952.

He was married to Jean Robertson; they were married at St George's, Hanover Square.

Curran, Desmond

  • Persoon
  • 1903-1985

He was born in Devon and grew up near St Andrews. He was educated at Wellington and Trinity College, Cambridge, before entering St George's Hospital Medical School where he graduated in the early 1920s.

He chose Psychiatry and was appointed house physician at the Bethlem Hospital in 1928. After a period in neurology at Maida Vale Hospital, he proceeded with a Rockefeller travelling fellowship to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and he came under the influence of Adolf Meyer. He was appointed as consultant to St George's Hospital at the age of 31, and election to the Fellowship of the College at the age of 34.

With the outbreak of war in 1939 he jointed the Royal Navy, and established within in a worldwide specialist service in psychiatry, becoming its youngest surgeon-captain. At the end of the war he returned to St George's and created the teaching hospital department of psychiatry at St George's Hospital. His textbook Psychological Medicine, was written in collaboration with Erich Guttmann.

He was a member of the Frankling Committee on punishment in prisons and borstals, the Wolfenden Commission on homosexuality, and he became adviser in psychiatry both to the Foreign Office and the Home Ofice. In 1948 he delivered the Croonian lecture at the College. He was president of the psychiatric section of the Royal Society of Medicine from 1951-52, and of the Royal Medico-Psychological Assication in 1963-64. He was awarded the CBE in 1961.

He married Marguerite Claire Gothard in 1938. She survived him with their two sons.

He is commemorated by the Curran Award at the Atkinson Morley Hospital and the Curran Memorial lecture delivered annually at St George's Hospital.

Dow, James Findlay

  • Persoon
  • 1911-1983

Born in Glasgow. Educated at Strathallan School and St John's College, Cambridge, receiving his medical training at the Middlesex Hospital, graduating in 1936.

After house appointments at the Middlesex and Brompton, he was appointed resident assistant physician at St George's in 1939, an appointment which was to mark the beginning of a lifelong association. During the war years he found himself virtually running medicine at St George's, with a heavy load of ward, outpatient and teaching duties. Later in the war he organisex medical support for the surgical teams sent to Cosham, near Portsmouth, to receive casualties from the D-day beach head invasion. Casualties were few and he found time to do some teaching and relaxation on the beaches. At that time bombs were falling on Hyde Park Corner and he received a telegram saying 'From the trenches of Hyde Park we salute the heroes of Cosham!'

In 1946 He was appointed honorary assistant physician to St George's, and, after two years of National Service in the Army, settled down to pursue his medical career.

His talents were now employed in the development of the new St George's Hospital. Together with a few of his colleagues he had the vision to see that the future of the hospital lay elsewhere than Hyde Park Corner: a teaching hospital ought to function as a general hospital serving a large and varied population. In 1950, James Dow moved his firm to the Grove Fever Hospital, Tooting, and established a first class medical and gastroenterological unit there. He returned to Hyde Park Corner when some medical units had to be sent back there to facilitate the building of the new medical school at Tooting. He served as chairman of the medical advisory committee and as a member of the board of governors and as one of the special trustees.

He also served Wimbledon Hospital, was chairman of the medical committee of King Edward VII Hospital for Officers (Sister Agnes), and an examiner in medicine at Cambridge and the Royal College of Physicians. He was adviser to the London Life Assurance, and a member of the Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland.

His first marriage ended with the early death of his wife Moira, who left him with an infant daughter. His second wife, Jean, a consultant radiologist, survived him, as did their four children.
