A final Kidney post: Royal connections.

1973 Princess Margaret opened ward 42. With its new curtains & flowers 42 was a step up from 51/52, located in the car park! They received no Royal Visit!

1993 Princess Anne opened The Scottish Renal & @erakidney Association meetings.

He was describing 'the method of separation by diffusion through a septum of gelatinous matter' In 1861 he described the effects of dialysing urine - electrolytes went into the external water and a white mass was left - 'pure urea'.

Dr Kolff (1911-2009)who invented the 1st dialyser came to Glasgow in 1979 & is pictured here alongside the statue of Thomas Graham in George Square. Graham was a Professor Chemistry, born in Glasgow in 1805. Graham coined the term dialysis from the Greek dia - through and luein - to loosen.

The Kidney Unit at GRI dialysed its first patient in 1959. Arthur Kennedy was in charge - pictured with a biochemist & the dialysis machine (pic 1/2). It was called a Kolff Kidney after it's inventor, Dr W.J. Kolff. The Kolff kidney was last used in Glasgow in 1974 (pic3/4).

We got plums

Our Victoria plum tree sits in our Biodiversity Garden & is watched over by Queen Victoria as she graces the museum entrance. The building, designed by James Miller was officially opened in 1914 By King George

Prof J.H Teacher 1869-1930, 1st St Mungo Prof of Pathology at @uofglasgow.bsky.social & GRI

He tirelessly catalogued the work of William Hunter, had a particular interest in gynaecological pathology & worked at Rottenrow too. In the 1930 British Medical Journal we found a copy of his obituary.

The magic of Toasted Ryvita. Who knew?

A testimonial published as a letter in 1930 in The Glasgow Medical Journal
The writer had been given some free samples for their patients. Perhaps there was some bias, perhaps not?

Both Macewen and Pringle were great champions of women in medicine in an era when women were not widely accepted. Ellen Brown Orr is pictured with Pringle, 3rd row, 2nd and 4th from left.
