The extraordinary influences of two British physicians on medical education and practice in Texas at the turn of the 20th century.
In 1891, two British doctors emigrated to Galveston, Texas to become professors in a new medical school. During long and outstanding careers, William Keiller and James Edwin Thompson transferred the best of Old World traditions in anatomy and surgery. The University of Texas Medical Branch became an outstanding teaching institution because of their dedication to professional excellence.
