Samson Wright
Samson Wright (5 May 1899- 10 March 1956) was a British medical physiologist who is mentioned as "undoubtedly the greatest teacher of physiology of his generation and author of the world famous textbook Applied Physiology" in his biographical memoir published at his birth centenary in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine [1].
Samson Wright's Applied Physiology textbook has been translated into many languages because besides being a gifted exponent in the lecture theatre, Wright possessed the power of writing. After his death his pupil wrote the newer editions till thirteenth edition.[2] The book remains a bible for experimental physiology.
