250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MEATH HOSPITAL

Today is a day of thanksgiving to God for 250 years of the Meath Hospital, from its beginnings in the heart of the Liberties, followed by almost two hundred years in the nearby Long Lane. It is a history marked by people of great stature, people like Robert Graves, William Stokes and John Cheyne, some developing new techniques, some teaching generations of medial students, others training nurses. More recent developments included the specialties in Urology, in the treatment of duodenal ulcers, and acute stroke care, to give but a few examples.
