George Frederic Still

Sir George Frederic Still, KCVO (1868-1941) was a British pediatrician who first described a form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis which bears his name. He was born in Highbury, England and attended medical school at Cambridge University. In 1897, he published his doctoral thesis describing a form of childhood febrile arthritis today known as Still's disease. He was also the one to initially describe the symptoms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). He was knighted upon his retirement in 1937.
