Much happened in the next 20 years to justify a new rendition of the story and additionally much more has been learned about the earlier times. Urology is a microcosm of modern specialized health care, but its story is also of particular interest for its ancient root as the single designated medical subspecialty set apart by the Hippocratic Oath 2,400 years ago from all other parts of medical care and education. The progression of skills and ideas, as well as stories of the people who advanced primitive healing arts to nineteenth-century genitourinary practice and then to twentieth-century urology, will be recounted as a primer on this field. We want to reinforce this part of medical historical literacy for new generations of learners while refreshing it for veterans. Just as urology training programs have had to provide basic surgical edu- cation for resident trainees, since most medical schools no longer reli- ably impart basic surgical skills, medical cultural literacy also must be taught, by default after medical school, in graduate medical educational levels of residency training and through continuing medical education for practitioners. No story is ever complete in its recollections of the past. An author has only partial relevant knowledge of any story, and the myriad other details of the cultural and physical soups that surrounded those facts are mostly lost to historical recollection. Lucky historians recover, recon- struct, or resuscitate useful information, but all stories are mainly nar- ratives of imagination and facts, whether true facts or otherwise. Don Coffey, the great urological scientist at Johns Hopkins Medical School, used to instruct his research trainees: “You have to learn to tell the differ- ence between facts and true facts.” Historical studies no less than scien- tific investigations aim to discern truth, although the sciences may strive vii 16034-0036e-2pass-r01.indd 7 1/23/2021 11:10:47 AM viii Preface to reduce facts and observations to laws and principles, whereas histori- cal understanding is broadened by context. Stories, even as particular as this one of a single academic urology unit, are enriched by the context of their people, events, and circumstances. For example, it’s inconceivable to consider urology at Michigan without understanding the roles of early founders and university leaders in shaping the institution, the political tensions of the times, relationships with state and community, and the generous philanthropy that built and sustains the school, its faculty, and its programs. No less important are certain individuals such as Moses Gunn, present at the start of the University of Michigan Medical School in 1848, and any appreciation of Gunn requires the context of the Civil War. Tension between the clinical enterprise, so essential to medical education, and the other two elements of medical academia, teaching and research, first manifested at Michigan with Gunn, driving his practice to Detroit and ultimately to Chicago. The mission balance dilemma continues to per- plex medical schools today. Victor Vaughan was another towering figure at the University of Michigan from his awkward arrival in 1874 to the end of his life in 1927. His big career opportunity came with the Rose- Douglas controversy, when he was the right person in the right place, and throughout the years that followed the homeopathy issue bubbled to the top, collapsed, and resurfaced again. These stories are interwoven deeply in the Michigan urology narrative just as all medical specialties and academic organizational structures have their own relevant intersect- ing stories. The small detail of a genito-urinary surgery title on a University of Michigan Hospital letterhead from 1919 (on next page) signaled the transition from a small clinical practice of genitourinary surgery to modern academic urology. Hugh Cabot was the reason for that transi- tion, as the Konnak and Pardanani book slyly reveals, with the section “Why is Hugh Cabot included?” While it was a well-known fact that the Cabot era began in the 1920 academic year, the letter just mentioned and other documents to follow show the true fact of his actual arrival in Ann Arbor and work in the medical school to have begun in the autumn term of 1919. The contentious Cabot decade that followed defined urology at Michi- gan for the next century and brought the first two urology trainees to Ann Arbor: Charles Huggins would win a Nobel Prize in medicine for his work with prostate cancer, and Reed Nesbit would achieve nearly equivalent international prominence for clinical innovation and post- graduate education. Nesbit led Michigan’s first Section of Urology within the Department of Surgery and his fifth successor, Jim Montie, inaugu- rated an independent Department of Urology, in concert with Dean Allen 16034-0036e-2pass-r01.indd 8 1/23/2021 11:10:47 AM Preface ix Lichter and surgery chair Lazar Greenfield, in 2001. Over the next two decades, the Department of Urology became one of the leaders and best of academic urologic departments according to surveys, rankings, patient preferences, learners, and faculty recruits. With those relevant details, and many others, this story aims to be rich in contextual factors. This volume entwines the stories of one medical subspecialty and a public university medical school within a single narrative. Other works probe the distinct stories of urology in America, the University of Michi- gan, and American medicine with far greater depth. Margaret and Nicholas Steneck’s bicentennial edition of Howard Peckham’s sesquicen- tennial work, The Making of the University of Michigan, is particularly Surgery department letterhead, Bentley Library collection of President Hutchins’ papers. 16034-0036e-2pass-r01.indd 9 1/23/2021 11:10:48 AM x Preface indispensable to understanding this institution and is a model that its urology story herein seeks to emulate. The Stenecks proposed, metaphor- ically, that this university began with a single strand that represented the university’s foundational aim of teaching, to disseminate knowledge and embrace education at all levels. This strand thickened over time and was joined by a second strand, representing the knowledge itself, that must be interpreted, renewed, and rebutted, through exploration, criticism, research, and invention, while winding around the first strand of teach- ing. The Stenecks then added another part to the braid: Now there is a third strand wound with the other two. The Univer- sity touches more than just its young students and faculty.

  • The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
    Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery.

It aims to help people who want to get involved as health consumers or community members. Acronym Phrase What it means ABHR Alcohol Based Hand Rub Alcohol-based hand rubs eliminate micro-organisms from the hands more effectively and cause less irritation than soap and water hand washing. ABI Acquired Brain Injury Damage to the brain through accident or illness ABS Australian Bureau of Statistics Australian Government organisation that collects measurements of our lives in Australia including our health and wellbeing. ABCDEFG Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, ABCDEFG is the structured approach used when assessing a deteriorating patient. Exposure, Fluids, Glucose ACC Altered Calling Criteria Calling criteria provide early recognition of patients whose medical condition is deteriorating. Standard calling criteria (e.g. a patient’s temperature or respiration rate) are set within a chart called a Standard Observation Chart. Patients’ observations are ideally “Between The Flags”, which is termed the White Zone. Yellow and Red zones indicate observations that are of concern and trigger a facility’s Clinical Emergency Response System. Standard calling criteria can be altered for Yellow or Red Zone observations, based on a patient’s health care requirements. For example, the threshold for the calling criterion for systolic blood pressure may be altered downwards to alert to re-bleeding of a cerebral aneurysm or may be altered upwards to better reflect the patient’s usual observation patterns. Changes must be clearly documented by a medical officer, in consultation with the Attending Medical Officer, on the appropriate Standard Observation Chart.

  • MILITARY HOSPITALS in the MAKING Major-General W
    J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-109-01-06 on 1 January 1963. Downloaded from 36 MILITARY HOSPITALS IN THE MAKING Major-General W. R; M. DREW C.B., C.B.E., Q.H.P., F.R.C.P. DURING the last 300 years England has shown an increasing concern for the constant care of her sick and wounded. Many successful generals and other officers command­ ing have long appreciated that the outcome of a campaign can depend on the medical services. Broadly it can be said that the evolution of army hospitals has followed closely their civil and naval counterparts, and that following each war improvements have been accomplished in the organization of military hospitals and medical services. It is probable that the first military hospital to be established in this country was that in Porchester Castle in 1563 which was required for the care of the casualties from the gallant garrison of Havre (Stewart 1950). The next was in Dublin where an army hospital was built and equipped in 1600, but this w{s closed when James I by guest. Protected copyright. reduced the garrison in Ireland. At the beginning of the sixteenth century there were still no proper arrangements for the collection and transportation of'those wounded in war. Usually the victorious general arranged for the local country people to carry away and treat the w~unded left behind on the battlefield. In this period there was no separate medical organization . for either the Army or the Navy. Among the famous surgeons to serve in both of these Armed Services were William Clowes (1540-1604), John Woodall (1569-1643) and Richard Wiseman (1622-1676), all of whom published works on the treatment of battle casualties.
