Re: Lister, I wouldn't take away such a fine invention from a fine Essex boy like him.

By the way, the folk that invented insulin did all their work in Canada TG, I'll let the Canadian embassy know that you're transferring the rights of the invention over to them.

The use of wine and vinegar as antiseptics dates back to the Greek and Romans. So antiseptics per se were not a Scottish invention. A Jock may have invented a particular type of antiseptic chemical or process.

In 1853 the Frog Charles Pravaz and the Jock Alexander Wood independently developed a medical hypodermic syringe with an advancement that the needle was fine enough to pierce the skin. So possibly only another development or at best a co-invention.

ha ha this is great - Francis Rynd says he invented this in 1844 but "didn't tell anyone about it" until 1861 (8 years after Wood did his).

Heinrich Hertz discovered and invented radar. Robert Alexander Watson-Watt much later developed the radar locating of aircraft.
