In 1974, this man, Prof. Graham Teasdale, gave the world the Glasgow Coma Scale, which is used by doctors around the world to measure levels of consciousness. It's a bit of a weird thing to have named after your home city, but it's much better than Bristol, birthplace of the Bristol Stool Chart!

This is a fact I learned this weekend, thanks to the Glasgow Doors Open Day Festival and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
