AbstractThis paper presents the story of a brilliant surgeon-anatomist. Henry Philbrick Nelson qualified from St Bartholomew's in 1927 and was admitted FRCS in 1929. Then he served as an anatomy demonstrator. He was a pioneer in the field of bronchial and segmental anatomy of the lung. Tragically, he died at the young age of 34 from a streptococcal infection contracted while operating.
