Description
Physician in Chichester, notable for his "sacred regard to truth ... he rejected with abhorrence the maxim too common among medical men, that what is said in the presence of the sick means nothing. The obligation seriously to say nothing but what is strictly and literally true he regarded as inviolable" (Trail and Steer, op. cit., p. 5)
