William Wright (surgeon)

Wright was educated under John Cunningham Saunders, and was therefore in all probability a student of St. Thomas's Hospital.

He does not appear to have obtained any medical diploma or license, but he proceeded to Bristol, where he began his professional career in 1796.

She was almost deaf and dumb, but his method of treatment was so successful that in a year she could repeat words, and in 1817 she had a long audience and conversation with Queen Charlotte.

He moved to London and soon acquired a large and fashionable practice.

Wright died on 21 March 1860 in Duke Street, St. James's Square, London.
