Adams published extensively in such medical areas as heart disease, arthritis and gout
Robert Adams, who died 150 years ago on January 13th, “became known as the revered father of Irish surgery”, according to the entry on him in the Dictionary of Irish Biography by Helen Andrews. He was three times president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and researched and published extensively in such medical areas as heart disease, arthritis and gout.
Following McDowel’s death, he and John MacDonnell applied for the position of surgeon at the Richmond Hospital, which presented the hospital’s board with a great difficulty as both candidates were of such a high calibre. Carmichael solved the problem by selflessly resigning, so that the hospital could employ both men. They contributed greatly to the development of the Richmond, Adams assisting MacDonnell to perform the first operation under anaesthesia in Ireland in 1847 .
He was also very interested in diseases of the joints and published Chronic Rheumatic Arthritis of the Knee Joint in 1840. His 1857 book, A Treatise on Rheumatic Gout or Chronic Rheumatic Arthritis of all the Joints, was perhaps his most enduring publication.
