Joseph Law M.D. Physician at the Infirmary, 1866-1887
Joseph Law (d.1897), MD, Honorary Secretary to Sheffield Medical Society (1842–1852)
Dr Joseph Law, anaesthetist, had a distinguished medical career in Sheffield. He was house surgeon at the General Infirmary from 1841 until 1852. In 1854 he was appointed to the staff of the Sheffield Public Dispensary, from where he retired in 1876. He then rejoined the staff of the General Infirmary to become Apothecary and he carried on a more or less good natured rivalry with his colleague Dr. Bartolomé. Dr Law used to dye his hair black. Bartolomé meeting Law in the corridor one morning turned to his students and said 'Gentlemen, grey hairs are honourable.' Quick came the response from Law 'Yes Bartolomé if they are found in the way of righteousness, but all are not.'
