Removed an uncited quotation. Please provide a source and add it back. Isopropyl (talk) 17:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

whoa

He died from peritonitis, which, ironically, in the days before antibiotics commonly resulted from a ruptured appendix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.85.48.162 (talk) 19:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikisource fodder?

Based on the date of his death, all of the works Sir Frederick wrote ought to be entering the public domain soon, if not already. -- llywrch (talk) 21:30, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't he lose a child to appendicitis?

In The Elephant Man, it tells in the epilogue that he was treating a child in the West Indes and lost a daughter of appendicitis at home. I came here to check and found that he likely died of it himself instead. It would be a particularly cruel fate if both had happened.72.11.53.145 (talk) 07:18, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted quote

I deleted the following:

'He wrote in subsequent account of his surgical work which was also reported in The Lancet: "I have never known anyone more clumsy with his fingers than the King and to see him use this great weapon for this small purpose was really alarming."'

The article didn't explain what the "great weapon" was, or for what "small purpose" it was being used. The original source suggests it refers to the King "cutting his cigars with the blade of a heavy pearl-handled pocketknife." This doesn't seem relevant at all to the surgery on his appendix.

King Edward

1902 he drained an appendix abscess of King Edward.^[1] It made him famous, I think. scope_creep (talk) 10:06, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
