Thomas Hodgkin was a diligent, selfless and benevolent man whose name is instantly recognisable in the medical field due to his description of a type of the lymphoma that is named after him, ‘Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’. Based at Guy’s Hospital, London, he created a vast catalogue of specimens in their Medical Museum and facilitated teaching at the establishment. He was dedicated to education, public health and social reform in the 19th century.
