John Hunt, Baron Hunt of Fawley

 * ... that in the early 1950s, John Hunt recalled the plans to form a college for GPs being discussed outside Oxford’s Mitre pub. according to Lord Hunt’s recollections, Dr Geoffrey Barber and Sir William Jameson hatched a plan for a possible new college during a conversion outside the Mitre in Oxford. []
 * ALT1:... that after contracting diphtheria, John Hunt was one of the last people to have his tonsils painted with cocaine and then guillotined? had his first major brush with the medical world when consigned to the infirmary with diphtheria. His tonsils were guillotined after being painted with cocaine and Hunt reckoned it must have been about the last time that this procedure was carried out in Great Britain. []

 * Symbol question.svg This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. I think ALT1 is the most hooky and intriguing, and am also approving ALT2. The article is neutral and although the Earwig copyvio tool came out quite high, it was mostly because of a lengthy quote and a number of formal titles of organisations. So we are just waiting for a QPQ to be done. I have adjusted the credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

 * thanks, his tonsils were guillotined, not him...: ALT1 maybe better as ... that after contracting diphtheria, John Hunt was one of the last people to have his tonsils removed by guillotine after they were painted with cocaine?

Both are ok. Whispyhistory (talk) 23:01, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT1a ... that after contracting diphtheria, John Hunt was one of the last people in England to have his tonsils painted with cocaine and removed by guillotine? Amending this hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:16, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT1a. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:42, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
