Richard Rawdon Stawell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Richard Rawdon Stawell KBE, (14 March 1864 – 18 April 1935) was an Australian medical doctor and the President of the Victorian branch of the British Medical Association.
Stawell was born at Kew, Melbourne. Stawell did post-graduate work from 1890 to 1892.[1] In World War I, Stawell served as Lieutenant-Colonel in charge of the medical section[1] with the 3rd Australian General Hospital.
The great immunologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet found him 'a man of much wisdom and immense charm', but with 'a waspish intolerance of stupidity'.[1]
