He spent his student time at St Bartholomew's Hospital and became a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Later, he became consultant surgeon and emeritus lecturer for clinical surgery at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He retired from praxis in 1927.

They were captured by the Hungarians and repatriated through Switzerland, only to return to continue their work in Romania.
