Alexander Wood (surgeon)
Alexander Wood (1725 – 1807) was an Edinburgh surgeon, active in the convivial clubs which flourished in Enlightenment Edinburgh and was the founder of two of these. Because of his lean, lanky physique he was better known to his contemporaries and to posterity as “Lang Sandy” Wood. His treatment of and friendship with the poet Robert Burns contributed to the local celebrity status which he attained.
==Professional Life==
The son of Thomas Wood, a farmer on the outskirts of Edinburgh, little is known of Alexander Wood's schooling or apprenticeship. He became a Freeman of the Incorporation of Surgeons in 1756 〔RCSEd list of Fellows. Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh〕 and was appointed to the staff of the new Royal Infirmary. Elected Deacon (President) of the Incorporation of Surgeons in 1762 he held office for two years.〔Macintyre IMC and MacLaren IF (eds) ''Surgeons Lives''. Edinburgh.Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. (2005) ISBN 0950362093〕 He was in surgical practice with the surgeons John Rattray (1707 – 1771) and Charles Congleton. Yet he made no known contributions to the advancement of surgical knowledge. Two of his pupils held him in high regard. John Bell (1763 – 1820) the surgeon dedicated his book ''Anatomy of the Human Body'' to Wood 〔http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4zYAAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR2&lpg=PR2&dq=john+bell+anatomy+of+the+human+body+%22alexander+wood%22&source=bl&ots=Jdl7husiks&sig=Iq4_16S4s8XCPQsqtHhMaML4dkM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=X0UOU662FqnB0gXTs4HwDQ&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=john%20bell%20anatomy%20of%20the%20human%20body%20%22alexander%20wood%22&f=false〕 while Sir Alexander Morison (1779 – 1866) the pioneer of psychiatric medicine composed a poem in his honour.
