Francis Sibson

Francis Sibson

Francis Sibson (21 May 1814, – 7 September 1876, Geneva) was a British physician and anatomist.

He was born at Crosscanonby, near Maryport, Cumberland and educated in Edinburgh, apprenticed to John Lizars, surgeon and anatomist. He continued his studies at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital, London.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1849. In 1851 he was appointed physician at St Mary's Hospital and lecturer at the medical school. Sibson was concerned to exhibit the internal organs of the human body in both healthy and diseased states: he was particularly interested in the physiology and pathology of the respiratory organs.

From 1866-69 Sibson served as president of the British Medical Association Council and then as life vice-president.

He married Sarah Mary Ouvry (1822-1898) in 1858. He died suddenly whilst on holiday at Geneva.
