Doggart, James Hamilton

  • Person
  • 1900-1989

He was the third son of Arthur Robert Doggart, a master draper and of Mary (nee Graham). Born at Bishop Auckland on 22nd January 1900. After education at King James I Grammar School, Bishop Auckland, and Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Darlington, he served for a short while as a Surgeon Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy 1918. He entered King's College, Cambridge, as a senior open foundation scholar in 1919, before moving on to St Thomas's Hospital.

After qualifying he was ophthalmic house surgeon at St Thomas's, then house surgeon and casualty officer at the Royal Northern Hospital. He reached the peak of his ophthalmic training in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when the policy of Moorfields Hospital was rarely to accept a UK doctor as a house surgeon. Australia and New Zealand were the chief beneficiaries of this policy. As a result, early in his career, Doggart substituted pathology for surgery as his main interest, serving as pathologist at the Westminster Ophthalmic Hospital and, later, Lang Research Scholar at Moorfield Hospital from 1930 to 1933. Later he was appointed as assistant surgeon, then surgeon and lecturer in ophthalmology to St George's Hospital; ophthalmic surgeon to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, and lecturer in the Institute of Child Health; ophthalmic surgeon to Lord Mayor Treloar Hospital; assistant surgeon to the Central London Ophthalmic Hospital and eventually assistant surgeon, then surgeon, to Moorfields Eye Hospital as well as lecturer in the Institute of Ophthalmology.

He specialised in coping with diseases of the eye in children; in slit lamp microscopy; and in the esoteric problems of ophthalmic medicine, on which he published a number of books including 'Diseases of children's eyes', 'Children's eye nursing', 'Ocular signs in slit-lamp microscopy' and 'Ophthalmic medicine'. He was an examiner in ophthalmology for the Royal College of Physicians and examiner for the Ophthalmic FRCS, and he also served as Faculty of Ophthalmology representative on Council of the Royal College of Surgeons.

He was a liveryman of the Society of Apothecaries, and an honorary member of the Australian, New Zealand, Canadian and Peruvian Societies of Ophthalmology, and of the Oto-neuro-ophthalmological Society of the Argentine. In his retirement he recorded many of the classics of English literature in electronic tapes for the blind.

He was twice married: first to Doris Hilda Mennell in 1928, by whom he had a daughter who married Dr Walter W Yellowlees, of Aberfeldy; and, secondly, to Leonora Sharpley Gatti in 1938, by whom there was a son who became a barrister. When he died on 15th October 1989 he was survived by his second wife and by his son and daughter.

He worked at Marburg before becoming assistant in pathology at the University of Sheffield and then at the University of Bristol. During World War I he worked as a bacteriological specialist at Royal Berkshire Hospital at Reading. In 1918 he went to work as lecturer in pathology and forensic medicine at St George's Hospital in 1918, where he was also a pathologist and curator of the museum. He then became a pathologist at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth and the Princess Louise Hospital, and the bacteriologist to the Royal Borough of Kensington. His final position, which he was apointed ot in 1928, was as the director of the pathological laboratory and honory pathologist at Guy's Hospital, where he was also the Sir William Dunn professor of pathology.

He was described in his obituary as an 'all-round pathologist, qualified in tropical medicine and public health'. During his time at the Royal Berkshire Hospital he worked on meningococcus, typhoid, sporing anaerobes, and influenza. He published on what he described as the 'Reading bacillus' - a form of Clostridium sporogenes that he and Major J.L. Joyce found to help to clear up septic gun shot wounds - enterococcus, translated Artur Pappenheim's 'Clinical Examination of the Blood and its Technique', contributed to F.G. Crookshank's 'Influenza' (1922), and wrote 'Practical Morbid Histology' (1923).
