George Green Sampson

George Green Sampson (1804–1885) was a physician and politician in Ipswich, Suffolk.

[1] He then purchased the medical practice of William Hamilton in Ipswich for £100.

[3] He was responsible for the introduction of the gold chain of office and badge in November 1871.

[4] He was active in the Suffolk Branch of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, and in 1844 served on their committee to support Sir James Graham's bill to regulate the medical profession.

[5] The Ipswich Journal's obituary reported that "Dr. Sampson" (as he was known to the poor of Ipswich, who admired him greatly) was a man of impetuous temperament but also intensely kind and sympathetic, although he had no patience for healthy young men whose crooked backs and bent knees contrasted with his own upright figure, maintained well into old age.
