About Oliver Wrong
- Professor Oliver Murray Wrong (7 February 1925 – 24 February 2012) was an eminent academic nephrologist (kidney specialist) and one of the founders of the speciality in the United Kingdom.
- From a background as a "salt and water" physician, he made detailed clinical observations and scientifically imaginative connections which were the basis of numerous advances in the molecular biology of the human kidney.
- Wrong himself contributed to much of the molecular work after his own "retirement".
- He dictated amendments to his final paper during his final illness in his own teaching hospital, University College Hospital (UCH), London.
- Though academic in his leanings, he was a compassionate physician who established a warm rapport with patients, a link he regarded as the keystone of his research.
- He belonged to a generation of idealistic young doctors responsible for the establishment of the UK's National Health Service in the post-War years.
