Hugh H. Young

Hugh Hampton Young was a prominent American surgeon, urologist and medical researcher, born on 18 September 1870 and dead on 23 August 1945. The lead of the source article describes him in those three roles and gives only his dates and professional identity, so this entry rests on that statement alone. The Atlas records him as an American physician who worked in surgery and in urology, the branch of medicine that treats the urinary tract, and who also carried out medical research. Further detail on his career is left for later depth work.
