Charles Wilson, 1st Baron Moran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles McMoran Wilson, 1st Baron Moran, MC (10 November 1882-12 April 1977) is most famous for being Sir Winston Churchill's personal physician. He saved his life in 1943, but the story then became that Sir Alexander Fleming saved the Premier's life. He was created Baron Moran in 1943. When he first met the then Prime Minister, he did not like him and found him annoying[citation needed]. However, they soon became excellent friends and remained so until Churchill's death. His book, The Struggle for Survival, details Churchill during and after the war. It shows the failing health of the wonderful Churchill. It also details some of the books that Churchill read, such as 1984, Death to the French, and The Dynasts.
He was Dean of St Mary's Hospital Medical School between 1920 and 1945, where he oversaw the rebuilding of the premises. He was a prominent scientist in his day, and was elected President of the Royal College of Physicians in April 1941.
