Son of Dr Noah & Hannah Cranch Bond Fifield. He was one of the best known Dr.s in Boston. He practiced in Weymouth from 1848 until 1861. From 1861 until his death in Dorchester.
He was a prominent figure in the anti-slavery days, and was a warm friend of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips.
Dr FiField received education at Phillips Exeter Academy and in 1851, graduated from Harvard Medical School. He then went to England and took the full course in the Royal College of Surgeons, graduating with honers. He was also a licentiate of the Royal Ophthalmic Hospital in London, and he studied several years in Paris.
After his return from abroad, he practiced a few years with his father, Dr Noah Fifield of Weymouth, and then moved to Dorchester in 1861. He was a visiting surgeon in the Boston City Hospital for 15 years, and was a member of the consulting staff at the time of his death.
He was also an honorary member of the Boston Medical Improvement Society, a Fellow of the MA Medical Society, member of the Obstetric Society and the Dorchester medical Club and of the American Chirurgical Society.
Dr Fifield was of exceptional skill in his profession, and was a recognized authority throughout the state. As a medical expert, he was many years well known to the Norfolk and Suffolk bars.
His professional attainments, his unbounded generosity and kindness to the poor, his help in all movements for the public good, his keen wit and brilliant powers as a raconteur, made his name beloved and respected.
His anti-slavery training made him a believer in equal rights for women, and it was largely due to his efforts that they were admitted to equal fellowship in the MA Medical Society. {From American Series of Popular Biographies, MA Edition}, The Richard Porter Family Genealogy- Terry Porter-Fahey
