Babington's syndrome--setting the record straight.
Mrs FM walked slowly to Guys Hospital on 5th July 1945. She had to walk slowly, for she had been increasingly breathless with exertion of late. She was to attend Ear, Nose and Throat Outpatients, and after some initial delays she was ushered in to see the consultant, Mr TB Layton. He had been appointed to the staff of Guys Hospital in 1912. He then served in the Great War, was twice mentioned in dispatches, and won the DSO. He claimed to be the first British officer to enter Jerusalem when it was taken by Allenby's forces. In a word he was a character; and much loved (Figure 1).
