Abstract:
The paper discusses the issue of the attitude towards medicine, physicians, and healers in Ancient Rome (1st – 5th centuries) based on ancient texts (Juv. Sat., Plin. Nat. Hist., Mart. Ep., etc.). It is shown that the profession of physician in Rome did not immediately receive recognition. The reasons for this are revealed: first, Romans did not consider medicine an art (science), and second, those who were associated with medicine were not Romans by origin and did not initially have civil rights. The collective biography of the Roman physician is reconstructed; it is based on the surviving te

Abstract:
Summary Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the most influential and profound German philosophers. After prolonged illness, he died at the age of 55 in Weimar, Germany. The interest in his medical biography has always been strong while the cause of his illness and death has remained a mystery, intriguing philosophers as well as physicians. The diagnosis of syphilis proposed in the 19th century has been controversial until today and many other diagnoses have been discussed. This paper suggests that Nietzsche suffered from mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes

In this biography, the life of William Hugh Isbister is traced through three continents, where he planted the seeds of academic surgery into a generation of leaders in colorectal surgery. This ultimately improved the care for thousands of patients. His last station in Saudi Arabia made a huge impact on the country. I hope this article inspires others to write about their mentors who were important in their development as surgeons and physicians. Short biographies of these important figures will serve as a valuable historical record for generations to come.

This article examines the development of the aspect of health in late Neoplatonic ontology as originated in Proclus and illustrated in Marinus’Life of Proclusand Damascius’Life of Isidore. In light of the steadily growing Neoplatonic interest in the philosophic value of the body and the widely spreading presence of the new and only Savior, Proclus looks closer at the Demiurge’s cosmological activity in the universe to discern its health-instituting nature based upon which he builds a health register distinguishing between Demiurgic and Asclepian health.

The purpose of this study was to examine the controversial personage of Dr. Josef Mengele, who was the chief physician of the Third Reich's Polish extermination camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Until very nearly the completion of this project, virtually no scholarly research had been conducted pertaining to Mengele's life, and therefore, the value of this inquiry is easily discernable. After forty years of eluding Israeli assassins and Nazi hunters, principally in several South American countries, Mengele's alleged remains were discovered, and subsequently exhumed for forensic analysis, near Sao Paul

With his arrival at the court of Cleves, an Erasmian laboratory of religious coexistence of different Christian faiths, Wier’s own religious beliefs were questioned, a topic that remains actively debated within historiography.

Abstract As a rule, scientists display their talents either as theorists or as experimentalists, but not both. Einstein, Maxwell, and Gibbs, for example, were great as theorists but not creative as experimentalists, while Faraday and Rutherford, great as experimentalists, were limited as theorists. Only Newton, in our company of physicists seen so far, displayed great talent as both an experimentalist and a theorist (and also as a mathematician). The subject of this chapter, Enrico Fermi, is another exception to the rule that physics is a bipartisan community. Fermi was, as his biographer and colleague, Emilio Segre, remarks, “from the first a complete physicist for whom theory and experiment possessed equal weight.”

Abstract:
This chapter presents selections from the vast oeuvre of the eighteenth-century polymath Čaqar Gebši Luvsančültem (1740–1810). Among Mongolian, Siberian, and Tibetan Buddhists to this day, the Čaqar Gebši is honored as an authoritative, genre-fixing translator, philosopher, astronomer, physician, pilgrim, and biographer who helped mediate the Qing imperial formation in Mongol lands. Translated in this chapter are selections from his miscellaneous writings focused on producing a Buddhism fit for Čaqar (only relatively recently and brutally incorporated into the Qing) by extolling topics such as the routinization of daily life for Buddhist scholastics, hair-splitting philosophical distinctions important for the Géluk tradition, and synthetic (as well as revisionist) histories of Tibetan and Chinggisid royal lineages, warlords, and eminent monks who collectively brought the Dharma to Čaqar lands. Also included is a brief but fascinating set of meditative and liturgical exercises meant to accompany the reading of Čaqar Gebši’s famous biography of Tsongkhapa.

Abstract:
Gilles de la Tourette had a passion for the history of medicine and ideas, with a particular attachment to the city of Loudun, where his family had its roots. In 1884, he published a biography of another Loudun native, Théophraste Renaudot, a seventeenth-century physician who advocated reform in medical studies, calling into question the rigid scholastic method, limited to Hippocratic and Galenic medicine, in order to develop truly clinical practices as well as medical research. This chapter presents this biography and its genesis, Gilles de la Tourette’s hidden debt to Eugène Hatin, and unpublished letters received by Gilles de la Tourette after the book’s publication. Drawing on archival documents, the process Gilles de la Tourette initiated to erect a Renaudot statue in Paris and Loudun is detailed, as is his induction into the Ordre de la Légion d’honneur.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the poems Keats wrote while associated with Guy’s Hospital, October 1815 – March 1817. Looking at Keats’ poems in terms of their dates of composition, juxtaposed with events in the hospital calendar and in his biography, reveals patterns of sociality and conviviality that tie in with Keats’ poetic productivity. After successfully passing his Licentiate Examination in July 1816, Keats chose to renew contact with his mentor Charles Cowden Clarke, who introduced him in turn to the Hunt Circle. The only surviving first-hand account of Keats at Guy’s is explored, showing how the mythmaking around Keats’ reputation affected this narrative. The chapter traces Keats’ development into the physician-poet he became, from his initial recourse to poetry as a distraction to his recognition that it might become a career.

Abstract:
Abstract Very little is known about the final months of Sibthorp’s life. The main sources are a few letters and Smith’s biography. Having returned to Oxford before 8 October 179 5, Sibthorp very likely lodged again at Cowley House, possibly with his half-sister Lady Sewell. He must have been to London and Brighton. where he ‘bathed only in the tepid Bath’, before writing to Smith, feeling, ‘since my Return ... very much indisposed and in a very infirm State of Health a nasty low Fever—with a Cough that alarms me from some Affection of the Lungs’. No appropriate medication being then available, Sibthorp relied on ‘gentle exercise on Horseback’ and, nursing himself at Oxford with ‘asses’ milk’, considered a cure at Bristol. Taking his poor health into account, it seems unlikely that Sibthorp was able to reassume his responsibilities as Sherardian Professor. as Keeper of the Physic Garden and as honorary physician; there is no evidence that he continued to work on his manuscript for the Proclromus or that he started the projected Flora Graeca. However, he was still interested in news from the botanical world, writing to Smith ‘in case You have an opportunity of sending down ye Icones pictae of Jacquin by any of your Friends that are coming thro’ Oxford I shall be obliged to You for the Conveyance if not send them by any of the Oxford Coaches.’

Abstract You care for nothing but shooting, dogs, and rat-catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family. “ Such was the prophesy of Darwin’s father, who had lost all patience with his young son’s inability to show direction and aptitude. Matters did not improve when Darwin entered his college years. He first enrolled at Edinburgh with the halfhearted intention of becoming a physician, like his father. Finding medical studies quite unattractive, Darwin proceeded to Cambridge at his father’s urging, with the plan of becoming a minister. But that career goal, too, soon ran aground. After he earned an undistinguished bachelor’s degree at age 22, he had no firm idea of what to do with himself. As is not surprising, when Darwin was invited to serve as the Beagle naturalist, his father was not inclined to give his consent. Rather than pursue a true profession, his son was apparently going to spend the next five years with only room and board as pay, and with no prospect of further advancement. His father made just one fateful concession, “If you can find any man of common--sense who advises you to go I will give my consent. “ Fortunately, Darwin’s uncle was considered “one of the most sensible men in the world;’ and it was he who persuaded Darwin’s father to relent. At this point, in the year 1831, Darwin’s biography becomes history.
