Talk:John Hunter (surgeon)

message: There appears to be a link to the wrong James Campbell, from the John Hunter (surgeon) article.  John Hunter's 4th daughter Agnes apparently married a General Sir James Campbell.  The James Campbell link takes us to a James Campbell, American, influential in early Hawaii.  Doesn't appear to be the right Campbell.

message: The following phrase appears in the article:
"He discovered CHIMAIRA(creature created by grafting animal parts)."
I found no reference in the article on Chimera of this and I strongly doubt its veracity.
On the other hand, I do have a reference on John Hunter as being the discoverer of anastomosis of blood vessels or collateral circulation in stags. I have no year to date the right John Hunter, but the refference says it happened in Richmond Park, which exists in London, where John Hunter, the Scottish surgeon, lived. The refference is in W. I. Beveridge, "The Art of Scientific Research" (Romanian translation from 1968, second edition preface written by author in Cambridge, 1953). Ferred 18:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The entirety of the Helping the Poor section is clearly an unattributed quotation.  Fumblebruschi 16:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to make the obvious point that there is now a section on his character with two explicit quotations, both of which are properly referenced. Above contributor is quite right: quotations must be referenced. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:36, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

message: There are some problems using Moore as a source considering the number of assumptions she makes concerning Hunter, particularly allegedly injecting himself with VD. Don't get me wrong, it's a great book and well-researched, but there are more than a few generalizations and assumptions she makes that are presented here as 100% fact. If we could go back and make note in the article that the sources provided, while very good, can only make assumptions considering the lack of hard primary-source data, it would be beneficial, I think.130.184.253.25 (talk) 15:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
