You need to solve the puzzle first!
The James Paget Hospital opened in 1981 and is named after Sir James Paget.
Sir James Paget was born on South Quay in Great Yarmouth in 1814. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London and qualified in 1836. He continued to practice in London and in 1858 he was appointed surgeon extraordinary to Queen Victoria, and in 1963 surgeon in ordinary to her husband, Prince Albert. He was hardworking and would see patients for 16 or more hours per day!
Paget was friends with Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley and he died in London on 30 December 1899, aged 85 after a long and illustrious career.
There are several disease states named after him:
- Paget's disease of the bone
- Paget's disease of the nipple
- Paget-Schroetter disease
- Paget's abscess
And now a hospital!
When he hospital first oepned it was known simply as the Great Yarmouth and Waveney District General Hospital (DGH). A competition was held to find a better name and Royal Jubilee was chosen. The hospital was never renamed this and continued to be the DGH. THe District Health Authority wanted this to change and suggested the "Prince William" but there was resistance from patients who didn't want to be treated in the "Prince Willy". Dr Wayne, one of the medical consultants at the hospital suggested James Paget and after some umming and aaahhing, this name was formally adopted in 1984.
Take care with parking around here - some of the streets are restrictive parking for quite a lot of the day but aren't very well signposted! I often see cars with tickets on them as I leave work.
