Thomas George Wilson FRCSI FRCSE FRCS FACS FRSM MRIA HRHA (1 July 1901 – 6 November 1969) was an eminent Anglo-Irish surgeon and medical administrator specialising in otorhinolaryngology, a field to which he made significant contributions.
The confusion is probably explained by the fact that Sir William Wilde had a natural son called Dr Henry Wilson.
Following this, he was appointed assistant surgeon to Thomas Graham at the Royal City of Dublin Hospital (Baggot Street).
He was elected a member of the James IV Association of Surgeons (founded in 1965) and President of the section of Laryngology of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1966.
He also served as President of the Collegium Oto-Rhino-Laryngologicum Amicitiae Sacrum (CORLAS), an international group of scientists, during its 1958 Dublin meeting.
[7] Wilson was also awarded honorary membership of the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) as well as a professorship of anatomy at the National College of Art and Design.
During his career, Wilson published various articles arguing in favour of the claim that Jonathan Swift suffered from Ménière's disease, which is now widely accepted by the medical circle.
[9][3] Wilson was subject to legal repercussions in 1942 when he was found to be hindering the arrest of a person liable to internment during the neutrality of the Irish Free State in the Second World War.
