William Attree (1780-1846) came from a prominent family in Brighton, England. He studied medicine at St Thomas' Hospital, London, and there was unwell for nearly 6 months with severe 'spasms' of the hand/arm/chest (1801-1802). Attree qualified Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1803 and served as dresser to Sir Astley Paston Cooper (1768-1841). In 1806 Attree is recorded as 'Surgeon and Apothecary' of Prince's street, Westminster. In 1806 Attree's wife died in childbirth and the following year he underwent emergency amputation of the foot in Brighton following a road traffic accident. Attree served as surgeon in the Royal Horse Artillery at Hastings, presumably in a regimental or garrison hospital. He went onto become surgeon to the Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, and Surgeon Extraordinary to two Kings: George IV and William IV. In 1843 Attree was appointed as one of the original 300 Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons. He died in Sudbury, near Harrow. His son William Hooper Attree (1817-1875) was surgeon to Don Miguel de Braganza, the former King of Portugal. The medical literature appears to lack a history of nineteenth century doctors (especially military surgeons) with physical disability. Attree's biography goes a small way towards developing this field of enquiry.
威廉·阿特里（William Attree，1780-1846 年）来自英国布莱顿的一个显赫家族。他在伦敦的圣托马斯医院学习医学，1801-1802 年期间因手部/手臂/胸部严重“痉挛”而患病近 6 个月。1803 年，阿特里获得英国皇家外科医学院会员资格，并担任阿斯特利·帕斯顿·库珀爵士（Sir Astley Paston Cooper，1768-1841 年）的助手。1806 年，阿特里被记录为威斯敏斯特王子街的“外科医生和药剂师”。1806 年，阿特里的妻子在分娩时去世，次年他在布莱顿因交通事故紧急进行了脚部截肢。阿特里在黑斯廷斯的皇家炮兵团担任外科医生，可能在团级或驻军医院工作。后来，他成为布莱顿苏塞克斯郡医院的外科医生，并担任乔治四世和威廉四世两位国王的特等外科医生。1843 年，阿特里被任命为皇家外科医学院最初 300 名研究员之一。他在哈罗附近的萨德伯里去世。他的儿子威廉·胡珀·阿特里（William Hooper Attree，1817-1875 年）是前葡萄牙国王米格尔·德·布拉干萨的外科医生。医学文献似乎缺乏对 19 世纪身体残疾医生（尤其是军医）的历史记载。阿特里的传记在一定程度上拓展了这一研究领域。
