Thomas Guy :
The Godfather of all that is Guy's, you owe your future career to this man so go thank him personally. Can be found in the consultant's car park outside Boland House. Don't be put off by his stony gaze.
Sir Astley Paston Cooper:
Anatomist extraodinaire, this chap was well known for dissecting an elephant in his own house. Also Known for discovering and naming many anatomical structures, such as Cooper's ligaments of the breast.
Thomas Hodgkin:
The man whose name is attached to Hodgkin's lymphoma and the Hodgkin building on campus. But for those of us at Guy's he has made a lasting impression as he was the first curator of the anatomy museum, which now makes up the Gordon Museum.
The Registry:
The civil service of the university, they're never short of red tape. These guys are special; as in special needs.
Dr Despo Papachristodoulou:
The guardian angel of preclinical students, this lovely woman is always there to provide a shoulder to cry on when it all gets too much. It will take you a while to understand her but its definitely worth it for the fetching leather trousers if nothing else...
Prof Harold Ellis:
Despite supposedly retiring before you were probably born, the legend that is Prof Ellis lives on. A fantastic anatomy demonstrator who is as likely to wow you as he is to completely belittle you. Quote "go home, call your mother and tell her you've been in the peritoneal cavity with Prof Ellis" His anatomy books are like Bibles and were probably written around the same time.
Dr Stuart Paterson:
This Scottish pharmacology lecturer and tutor is a Tommy's man through-and-through. A real legend and champion of the medical school, he's a staunch supporter of our events and can often be seen enjoying a tipple or two at most GKT do's.
Dr John Halliday:
Another all round good egg, Dr Halliday is one of the few lecturers and tutors who actually approves of the social side of university life and is another fine shoulder to cry on if your exam results go tits up.
