Charles Wilson, created Lord Moran, was Churchill's physician for many years and in the late 1950s asked outright to be elected. This was surprisingly forthright, and Churchill felt that he couldn't hurt the doctor's feelings by refusing. After Churchill's death, Moran published a controversial book "Winston Churchill, the Struggle for Survival" which offended Churchill's friends for discussing matters normally confidential between a doctor and patient. The members of the club thus asked him to resign, though he himself saw no reason to do so.
