Christopher Jonathan Pearce
Consultant clinical biochemist Ipswich Hospital (b Leeds 10 February 1948; q Hertford College, Oxford/Middlesex Hospital Medical School, London, 1972; FRCP; FRCPath), d 30 December 2002.After his first house appointment with Sir John Nabarro at the Middlesex Hospital, Chris Pearce decided on a career as an endocrinologist. After clinical registrar and senior registrar appointments at Westminster Hospital, he worked with Professor Richard Himsworth in the endocrine research group at the clinical research centre at Northwick Park Hospital before becoming in 1985 senior registrar in clinical chemistry with Professor Shenkin at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. In 1990 he was appointed clinical biochemist at Ipswich Hospital, a post that allowed scope for his clinical and biochemical skills. He wrote many papers, particularly on thyroid diseases and thyroid function tests. He had an incisive, quick critical mind and was an excellent and much loved clinician, but sadly was liable to unwarranted self doubt. He leaves a wife, Christine. [Richard Bayliss]
