Hale-White, William (1857-1949)

English physician. He studied medicine at Guy's Hospital, London. In 1885 he was appointed assistant physician and in 1890 he became full physician until he retired in 1919. He was then made consulting physician. He was president of the Fellowship of Medicine (1927-32) and founder of the Post-Graduate Medical Journal.

He was born in London. From 1886-93 he was a joint editor of Guy's Hospital Reports, contributing many papers to the journal over a period of 50 years. He did much for medical education and wrote numerous books on medicine.

Hale-White's works include a handbook of Materia Medica, Pharmacy, Pharmacology and Therapeutics (1892), A Textbook of General Therapeutics (1889), A Textbook of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (1901), and Common Affections of the Liver (1908). In 1923 he published a translation of selected passages from René Laënnec's Treatise on Mediate Auscultation, with a biography. In retirement, Hale-White studied medical history, publishing Great Doctors of the Nineteenth Century (1935), and Keats as Doctor and Patient (1938).
