Talk:St Peter's Medal

Why
What is the connection with St Peter? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Likely this Peter, a hospital for the stone, but could be this Peter. I'll investigate and get back. It looks like it was called the Ward medal first. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hospital looks familiar. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
 * confirms that the medal is named for the St Peter's Hospital and Peter Freyer is engraved on it. Ward, who commissioned the medal, named it for his three influential teachers, all who worked at St. Peter's. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Good work. Is St Peter particularly associated with medicine? Philafrenzy (talk) 00:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * "St Peter. Peter, a disciple of Christ, was originally called Simon or Simeon, and was given the name Peter by Christ. Derived from the Latin petrus, Peter means ‘rock’ or ‘stone’. Christ told Peter he was to be the ‘rock’ upon which the Christian Church was to be built. It is not surprising, therefore, that the first urological hospital in Great Britain was called St Peter’s." . Whispyhistory (talk) 18:35, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Utter piffle by the urologists. They probably don't really know. According to this he is associated with frenzy, foot problems, fever, and longevity, none of which appear to have any link to urology. Indeed they appear to have stolen the patron saint of podiatry.
