James Blundell, proponent of physiological concepts, teacher of the conservative practice of obstetrics, and one of the first to practice blood transfusion in humans, was an eccentric physician of Guy's Hospital.
Blundell's experimental investigations of the response of the peritoneum of animals to surgical interference held considerable interest because of the possibilities for surgical advances generally and for obstetrics and gynecology specifically.
Blundell was admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1838, two years after he retired from Guy's Hospital in an irreconcilable dispute with the administration.
