John Whiteway (c. 1722 - 25 May 1797) was a Dublin surgeon who was the second president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) in 1786.[2]
A kinsman of Whiteway, Jonathan Swift, Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, paid for Whiteway's education as a surgeon, and Cameron notes that Whiteway performed the autopsy on Swift. He was appointed as a visiting surgeon to St Patrick's Hospital, Dublin and visiting physician to Dr Steevens' Hospital. He was also a Surgeon at the Hospital for Venereal Diseases, North King Street. Cameroon notes that his practice was large, and he was considered a skilful surgeon and usually employed the flap operation in amputations.[3]
