Paget's Disease

摘要

James Paget (1814–99) was born at Yarmouth, the youngest of 17 children. While a student at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, he identified Trichinella spiralis in muscle; his sketches are preserved in the Royal College of Surgeons. He qualified in 1836 and eventually became a surgeon at St Bartholomew's, Fellow of the Royal Society (1951), Surgeon to Queen Victoria (1858), President of the Royal College of Surgeons (1875) and baronet (1871). He died in his 85th year and was buried in Finchley Cemetery after a funeral service at Westminster Abbey.
