Notes

Roos has Young's year of death incorrectly listed as 1949.
Young, who spent most of his medical career affiliated with Johns Hopkins, was the founder of modern urology. It was in this capacity that he consulted on Wilson. At one point Wilson had a Foley catheter; we can be reasonably sure that it was Young who placed it.
