  • Passages of Medical History. Edinburgh Medicine from 1860
    PASSAGES OF MEDICAL HISTORY. Edinburgh Medicine from i860.* By JOHN D. COMRIE, M.D., F.R.C.P.Ed. When Syme resigned the chair of clinical surgery in 1869, Lister, who had begun the study of antiseptics in Glasgow, returned to Edinburgh as Syme's successor, and continued his work on antiseptic surgery here. His work was done in the old Royal Infirmary, for the present Infirmary had its foundation- stone laid only in 1870, and was not completed and open for patients until 29th October 1879. By this time Lister had gone to London, where he succeeded Sir William Fergusson as professor of clinical surgery in King's College in 1877. Another person who came to Edinburgh in 1869 was Sophia Jex Blake, one of the protagonists in the fight for the throwing open of the medical profession to women. Some of the professors were favourable, others were opposed. It is impossible to go into the details of the struggle now, but the dispute ended when the Universities (Scotland) Act 1889 placed women on the same footing as men with regard to graduation in medicine, and the University of Edinburgh resolved to admit women to medical graduation in October 1894. In the chair of systematic surgery Professor James Miller was succeeded (1864) by James Spence, who had been a demonstrator under Monro and who wrote a textbook, Lectures on Surgery, which formed one of the chief textbooks on this subject for many years. His mournful expression and attitude of mind gained for him among the students the name of " Dismal Jimmy." On Spence's death in 1882 he was succeeded by John Chiene as professor of surgery.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Changes in the Management of Difficult Childbirth and the Edinburgh Royal Maternity Hospital, 1850–1890
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by PubMed Central Medical History, 2006, 50: 351–372 Passive Trust or Active Application: Changes in the Management of Difficult Childbirth and the Edinburgh Royal Maternity Hospital, 1850–1890 ALISON NUTTALL* Introduction The history of the medical and nursing care given to parturient women has been approached in a number of ways. Early studies largely equated it with the development of obstetric technology that occurred from the early eighteenth century onwards, focusing on its potential to save maternal and foetal life, but without examining closely the fre- quency and significance of its actual use.1 Thereafter, feminist historians re-interpreted similar evidence to stress what they regarded as the degrading and invasive aspects of such technology, especially as it related to the increasing use of chloroform anaesthesia in the latter half of the nineteenth century.2 Interest then moved from the technology itself, to its effects on other aspects of care in childbirth, particularly on the eighteenth-century decline of the traditional midwife and the concomitant rise of the man-midwife.3 The above historiography implied that once forceps were publicly known, they were consistently and widely used. However, this has since been questioned. The use of detailed analysis of the casebooks and published writings of a number of men-midwives, in addition to contemporary printed debates between doctors and midwives, has produced a more complex and nuanced picture of the early use of forceps and related instruments. In this interpretation, it is argued that the use of instruments to deliver a live child initially played a crucial part in the conversion of male obstetric surgeons from attendants called only to deliver a dead child piecemeal, to men-midwives.

  • Belly-Rippers, Surgical Innovation and the Ovariotomy Controversy Sally Frampton Faculty of English University of Oxford Oxford, UK
    medicine and biomedical sciences in modern history sciences modern in biomedical and medicine BELLY-RIPPERS, SURGICAL INNOVATION AND THE OVARIOTOMY CONTROVERSY SALLY FRAMPTON Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Modern History Series Editors Carsten Timmermann University of Manchester Manchester, UK Michael Worboys University of Manchester Manchester, UK The aim of this series is to illuminate the development and impact of medicine and the biomedical sciences in the modern era. The series was founded by the late Professor John Pickstone, and its ambitions refect his commitment to the integrated study of medicine, science and tech- nology in their contexts. He repeatedly commented that it was a pity that the foundation discipline of the feld, for which he popularized the acronym ‘HSTM’ (History of Science, Technology and Medicine) had been the history of science rather than the history of medicine. His point was that historians of science had too often focused just on scientifc ideas and institutions, while historians of medicine always had to consider the understanding, management and meanings of diseases in their socio-economic, cultural, technological and political contexts. In the event, most of the books in the series dealt with medicine and the biomedical sciences, and the changed series title refects this. However, as the new editors we share Professor Pickstone’s enthusiasm for the inte- grated study of medicine, science and technology, encouraging studies on biomedical science, translational medicine, clinical practice, disease histories, medical technologies, medical specialisms and health policies. The books in this series will present medicine and biomedical science as crucial features of modern culture, analysing their economic, social and political aspects, while not neglecting their expert content and con- text.

  • Innovation and Ovarian Surgery in Britain 1740-1920
    'The Most Startling Innovation': Ovarian Surgery in Britain, c.1740-1939. Sally Frampton PhD History of Medicine UCL 2013 P a g e | 2 I, Sally Frampton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: __________________________ Date: ____________________________ P a g e | 3 Abstract Ovarian surgery was a topic of considerable interest to European surgeons during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the 1830s extirpation of the diseased ovary became the first major abdominal procedure to come into use in Britain and in 1843 the term ‘ovariotomy’ was coined to describe the procedure. Yet the operation’s ‘establishment’ was fraught with anxieties that went to the heart of surgical morality. Alternatively framed as a triumphant episode of surgical progress and a symbol of Victorian surgeons’ attempts to ‘control’ female patients with brutal and unnecessary surgery, this thesis adopts a different approach by considering what ovarian surgery can tell us about innovation. With the procedure at its centre, this thesis traces the intricacies particular to negotiating novelty in operative surgery, and how the use of ovariotomy raised significant questions regarding risk, responsibility, credit, economics and surgical language. What emerges is a history that challenges not only previous historicization of ovarian surgery, but also histories of innovation which imagine novel products as stable entities and the innovation process as one that follows a linear pattern. Ovarian surgery, on the contrary, followed no such pattern. At the heart of the debate – and at the heart of this thesis – is the question of definition.

  • Joseph Lister Surgeon and Founder of a System of Antiseptic Surgery
    Joseph Lister Surgeon and founder of a system of antiseptic surgery Reference and contact details: GB779 RCSEd GD/5 Location: RS R3 Dates of Creation: 1856- Held at: The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh All items are catalogued, with images online on the College Library & Archive website Administrative/Biographical History: Joseph Lister (1827-1912) was born at Upton, Essex on 5 April 1827. He was raised as a Quaker and went to a Quaker school in Tottenham. He attended University College London where he took the degrees of BA in 1847 and MB in 1852. He came to Edinburgh for a few months’ study with James Syme, the Professor of Clinical Surgery, in 1853 and stayed for seven years, marrying Syme’s daughter Agnes in 1856. He became Syme’s dresser and subsequently his house-surgeon for one year. In 1856 he was appointed Assistant Surgeon to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and took an active part in teaching the extra-mural school. In 1860, he was appointed to the Regius Chair of Surgery in Glasgow University, and a year later became surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. It was during these years at Glasgow that he made the observations and discoveries which revolutionized the treatment of disease and injuries. His interest in the recently discovered pasteurisation process led to experiments with the use of carbolic acid to keep wounds clean and to the advent of antiseptic surgery. In 1869 Lister became Professor of Clinical Surgery at Edinburgh. In 1877 he left to take up the Chair of Clinical Surgery created for him at King’s College Hospital, London.
