Related to James Young.
[1] At the request of John Francis Davis, the 2nd governor, Young gave up his private practice and took up the office of Colonial Surgeon, which was vacated following the death of Francis Dill. He was the third locally recruited Colonial Surgeon. What Davis and Young didn't know was that the Home Government had decreed that the Colonial Surgeon's post should be filled by a London appointee. Young had to step down ten months after he was appointed to make way for William Morrison who arrived Hong Kong in mid 1847 as London’s appointee to take over his job.

[Woo went to England in 1921 to receive specialist treatment of undisclosed nature and there was false reports of his death as the result of the treatment.]
[Woo was sued in 1935 by John S.H. Waan, Chinese Secretary to the Italian Consul-General for willful neglect and exposure of a patient, causing grievous injury to health. The patient in question was Wann's 31-month-old daughter, Natalina, who died after having been under the care of Woo. The trial ended after Woo's lawyer submitted no case to answer on the grounds of lack of evidence.]
[1] Woo was the first Chinese elected to the office of President of the China Medical Association 中國博醫會. He was also the last president of the association which in April 1932 amalgamated with the Chinese Medical Association 中華醫學會 and ceased to exist henceforth. The China Medical Association was originally the Medical Missionary Society of Canton founded in February 21, 1838. The words "of Canton" in the name of the society was later replaced by "in China".

[1] The following was published in the September 27, 1940 issue of the Hong Kong Government Gazette:
Medical Department.In 1940, a total of four doctors were found guilty of the same charges, and they were: Pang Iu-ki 彭耀基, Wong Yu-lung 黄裕綸, Hung Men-sau 洪明修 and So Ping-lun 蘇炳麟. All, except Pang, whose case was the first to be exposed, were disqualified and no longer permitted to practice in Hong Kong. Pang was only censured for his misconduct. Pang's case might have triggered an across-the-broad investigation by the Medical Board; exactly how many doctors were investigated is unknown. The three struck-offs were the only ones that had been published in the entire period contemplated by this dictionary.
No. 1092 - At an Inquiry held by the Medical Board on the 12th June, 1940, a resolution was duly passed that it had been proved to the satisfaction of the Board that Dr. Wong Yu Lung of No. 36, Nanking Street, 1st floor, Yaumati, had permitted an unqualified assistant employed by him to give inoculations for cholera and vaccination to persons attending at his consulting rooms and had permitted such assistant to furnish such persons with certificates already signed by him certifying that he the said Dr. Wong Yu Lung had inoculated and vaccinated such persons whereas in fact he the said Dr. Wong Yu Lung had not seen such persons no had he performed such inoculations for cholera and vaccination and further that he the said Dr. Wong Yu Lung had signed certificates of inoculation for cholera and vaccination in blank and had permitted the said assistant to deal with the same as he saw fit and that, in relation to the facts so proved to the satisfaction of the Board, the said Dr. Wong Yu Lung had been guilty of infamous conduct in a professional respect and directed the name of Dr. Wong Yu Lung be struck off the register of Medical and Surgical Practitioners qualified to practice medicine and surgery in this Colony.
Dated this 10th day of September, 1940,
By Order of the Board,
M.M. Watson,
