Royal medic dies

Peter Brunt, who has recently died, was described by The Times as Physician to Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland ‘who played a leading role in developing gastroenterology as a medical discipline in the UK’.

He was also known as a committed Christian. Encouraged by Donald Coggan, the evangelical former Archbishop of Canterbury whom he had met on a visit to Aberdeen, he was ordained and served as a non-stipendiary minister, the newspaper reported. The Scotsman reported that he once looked after the Queen Mother after she swallowed a fishbone – ‘an incident that generated worldwide headlines but which he met with his customary discretion’.
