Why
editWhat is the connection with St Peter? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Likely this Peter, a hospital for the stone, but could be this Peter. I'll investigate and get back. It looks like it was called the Ward medal first. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hospital looks familiar. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- [1] confirms that the medal is named for the St Peter's Hospital and Peter Freyer is engraved on it. Ward, who commissioned the medal, named it for his three influential teachers, all who worked at St. Peter's. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Good work. Is St Peter particularly associated with medicine? Philafrenzy (talk) 00:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- "St Peter. Peter, a disciple of Christ, was originally called Simon or Simeon, and was given the name Peter by Christ. Derived from the Latin petrus, Peter means ‘rock’ or ‘stone’. Christ told Peter he was to be the ‘rock’ upon which the Christian Church was to be built. It is not surprising, therefore, that the first urological hospital in Great Britain was called St Peter’s."

- Utter piffle by the urologists. They probably don't really know. According to this he is associated with frenzy, foot problems, fever, and longevity, none of which appear to have any link to urology. Indeed they appear to have stolen the patron saint of podiatry.

- ... that the British Association of Urological Surgeons's St Peter's Medal is named for St Peter's Hospital which is named for Saint Peter? [3][4]
- ALT1:... that the St Peter's Medal of the British Association of Urological Surgeons was first awarded for the detection of bladder cancers in the dye industry? The very first medal winner was ... awarded the prize in 1949. ...described the first series of tumours of the bladder attributable to dye-manufacture in England.

Article is new enough, long enough, well crafted enough. Referencing is good, hook's cited. As for which hook, I much prefer ALT1, the St Peter's linkage is all-too-common. Plus ALT1 has the advantage of not using that awkward "s's" construction that Wikipedia insists upon. I made a couple of really minor tweaks to the article, but this is good to go.
