"His best known publications were: The Anatomy of the Bronchial Tree, The Anatomy of Congenital Pulmonary Stenosis, The Life and Work of Astley Cooper, and Lung Abscess [offered here]. He wrote succinctly and would not tolerate misuse of the English language--to the patient who asked 'Do I need surgery, Sir?' he replied, 'Everyone needs surgery, Madam, what you need is an operation!' In teaching and training students and young surgeons he expected the same dedication which he displayed himself, and would not tolerate laziness nor suffer fools gladly. Those who passed successfully through the fire could be sure of his continued interest and encouragement" (Plarr's Lives of the Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons).
