James Watson, MD, LRCSE--an Edinburgh-trained physician and surgeon in northeastern China 1865-1884.
Much has been written about medical missionaries in China, but not much has been published about other Western doctors who practiced there in the nineteenth century. James Watson of the Imperial Chinese Maritime Customs Service, the first Western doctor to practice in northeastern China, was an Edinburgh medical graduate and served in Newchwang, from 1865-1884. He then returned to practice in Britain, where he died in 1926.
