The Douglas men, all doctors named Hugh, are synonymous with Waikato Hospital starting in 1899 when the first Dr Hugh Douglas was appointed Waikato Hospital's second medical superintendent. He was also the resident surgeon. Born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England he qualified in medicine at Edinburgh in 1896 and emigrated to New Zealand. He practised medicine at Devonport before his appointment as medical superintendent at Waikato Hospital in 1899. After retiring as medical superintendent he went into private practice and occasionally did surgery. He was president of the New Zealand branch of the British Medical Association in 1928-29, and Hamilton Golf Club from 1921 to 1925. He was also a foundation member of Hamilton Rotary in 1923 and was the original club on-course doctor of Waikato Racing Club. He died in 1943.^^With research.
