"Let right be done": unprofessional conduct, reputations and injustices, and their effect on the life of the surgeon James Fitzjames Fraser West (1833-1883).
Unprofessional behaviour was still common when James Fitzjames Fraser West first qualified in 1854. The paper covers the ugly dispute that occurred in 1857, when West was appointed honorary surgeon at Queen's Hospital in Birmingham. West's reputation did not suffer any long-term harm, however, and he went to his grave a much-respected man.
