	St Peter's Hospital, Covent Garden St Peter's Hospital is a former hospital in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London, which is a grade II listed building. History Plans for the hospital were discussed at the home of Armstrong Todd, a surgeon who lived at London's 16 Burlington Street. The Hospital for Stone subsequently opened in 1860 at 42 Great Marylebone Street. It moved again, this time to a purpose-built facility in Henrietta Street, designed by J. M. Brydon in the Queen Anne style and opened by Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany in 1882. Henry Clutton, the ninth Duke of Bedford's architect, required amendments to be made to the design to suit the Bedford Estate's requirements. The building was constructed in such a way as to allow it to be converted in the future into residential flats and chambers. It closed in 1948. The hospital joined with St Paul's Hospital to form the Institute of Urology in 1948. The Institute was joined by St Philip's Hospital in 1952 and the hospitals became known as "the three ...

picture info	Haemorrhoid Hemorrhoids (or haemorrhoids), also known as piles, are vascular structures in the anal canal. In their normal state, they are cushions that help with stool control. They become a disease when swollen or inflamed; the unqualified term ''hemorrhoid'' is often used to refer to the disease. The signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids depend on the type present. Internal hemorrhoids often result in painless, bright red rectal bleeding when defecating. External hemorrhoids often result in pain and swelling in the area of the anus. If bleeding occurs, it is usually darker. Symptoms frequently get better after a few days. A skin tag may remain after the healing of an external hemorrhoid. While the exact cause of hemorrhoids remains unknown, a number of factors that increase pressure in the abdomen are believed to be involved. This may include constipation, diarrhea, and sitting on the toilet for long periods. Hemorrhoids are also more common during pregnancy. Diagnosis is made by lookin ...

	John Percy Lockhart-Mummery John Percy Lockhart-Mummery FRCS (14 February 1875 – 24 April 1957), was a British surgeon at St Mark's Hospital, London, who devised a classification of rectal cancer and described familial polyposis which led to the formation of the polyposis registry. He was the author of several books, including ''Diseases of the Rectum and Colon and their Surgical Treatment'' (1923) and ''The Origin of Cancer'' (1934). His work on colorectal surgery earned him the nickname "King Rectum". His grandfather, his brother, and his father, John Howard Mummery, were all dental surgeons. While studying at Cambridge he developed sarcoma of his leg, for which Joseph Lister carried out an amputation. He completed his clinical training in 1899 at St George's Hospital, London, and in 1904 was appointed Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons. He showed that sigmoidoscopy was safe and effective in looking for diseases of the large bowel. During the First World War he operated at King Edward ...
