  • Richard Bradley's Illicit Excursion Into Medical Practice in 1714
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by PubMed Central RICHARD BRADLEY'S ILLICIT EXCURSION INTO MEDICAL PRACTICE IN 1714 by FRANK N. EGERTON III* INTRODUCTION The development of professional ethics, standards, practices, and safeguards for the physician in relation to society is as continuous a process as is the development of medicine itself. The Hippocratic Oath attests to the antiquity of the physician's concern for a responsible code of conduct, as the Hammurabi Code equally attests to the antiquity of society's demand that physicians bear the responsibility of reliable practice." The issues involved in medical ethics and standards will never be fully resolved as long as either medicine or society continue to change, and there is no prospect of either becoming static. Two contemporary illustrations will show the on-going nature of the problems of medical ethics. The first is a question currently receiving international attention and publicity: what safeguards are necessary before a person is declared dead enough for his organs to be transplanted into a living patient? The other illustration does not presently, as far as I know, arouse much concern among physicians: that medical students carry out some aspects of medical practice on charity wards without the patients being informed that these men are as yet still students. Both illustrations indicate, I think, that medical ethics and standards should be judged within their context. If and when a consensus is reached on the criteria of absolute death, the ethical dilemma will certainly be reduced, if not entirely resolved. If and when there is a favourable physician-patient ratio throughout the world and the economics of medical care cease to be a serious problem, then the relationship of medical students to charity patients may become subject to new consideration.

  • The Homoeomerous Parts and Their Replacement by Bichat'stissues
    Medical Historm, 1994, 38: 444-458. THE HOMOEOMEROUS PARTS AND THEIR REPLACEMENT BY BICHAT'S TISSUES by JOHN M. FORRESTER * Bichat (1801) developed a set of twenty-one distinguishable tissues into which the whole human body could be divided. ' This paper seeks to distinguish his set from its predecessor, the Homoeomerous Parts of the body, and to trace the transition from the one to the other. The earlier comparable set of distinguishable components of the body was the Homoeomerous Parts, a system founded according to Aristotle by Anaxagoras (about 500-428 BC),2 and covering not just the human body, or living bodies generally, as Bichat's tissues did, but the whole material world. "Empedocles says that fire and earth and the related bodies are elementary bodies of which all things are composed; but this Anaxagoras denies. His elements are the homoeomerous things (having parts like each other and like the whole of which they are parts), viz. flesh, bone and the like." A principal characteristic of a Homoeomerous Part is that it is indefinitely divisible without changing its properties; it can be chopped up very finely to divide it, but is not otherwise changed in the process. The parts are like each other and like the whole Part, but not actually identical. Limbs, in contrast, obviously do not qualify; they cannot be chopped into littler limbs. Aristotle starts his own explanation with the example of minerals: "By homoeomerous bodies I mean, for example, metallic substances (e.g. bronze, gold, silver, tin, iron, stone and similar materials and their by-products) ...;'3 and then goes on to biological materials: "and animal and vegetable tissues (e.g.

  • Dutch Anatomy and Clinical Medicine in 17Th-Century Europe by Rina Knoeff
    Dutch Anatomy and Clinical Medicine in 17th-Century Europe by Rina Knoeff The Leiden University medical faculty was famous in 17th-century Europe. Students came from all over Europe to sit at the feet of the well-known medical teachers Peter Paauw, Jan van Horne and Franciscus dele Boë Sylvius. Not only the lecture hall, but also the anatomical theatre as well as the hospital were important sites for medical instruction. The Dutch hands-on approach was unique and served as an example for the teaching courses of many early modern cen- tres of medical education. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Clinical Teaching 4. Appendix 1. Bibliography 2. Notes Indices Citation Medicine in the 17th-Century Netherlands Until well into the 18th century Leiden University was an important stop on the peregrinatio medica, a medical tour to foreign countries undertaken by ambitious students from the late 12th century onwards (Leiden was particularly popular in the 17th and 18th centuries). The town of Leiden was an attractive place for students – it had excellent facilities for extracurricular activities such as theatre visits, pub crawls, horse riding and boating. The English student Thomas Nu- gent stated that Ÿ1 They [the students] wear no gowns, but swords and if they are matriculated they enjoy a great many privi- leges. Those that are above twenty years of age, have a turn of eighty shops of wine a year, and half a barrel of beer per month free of duty of excise.1 Unlike most universities, Leiden welcomed students of all religious affiliations and it was praised for its "great liberty, the freedom of thinking, speaking and believing".2 Additionally, the medical curriculum was significantly shorter than in other places, which more than compensated for Leiden's high living costs.

Due to his passion for anatomy and his art of dead bodies’ conservation techniques made a big leap forward. Before that, anatomists had always faced many problems related to the fact that dead bodies were decaying fast; and the need to hurry led to numerous mistakes during dissections and in descriptions. Frederik Ruysch (1638—1731) was born in The Hague in a civil servant’s family. He graduated from the University of Franeker where he studied to be a pharmacist.

    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/20301 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Hendriksen, Marieke Maria Anna Title: Aesthesis in anatomy. Materiality and elegance in the Eighteenth-Century Leiden Anatomical Collections Issue Date: 2012-12-18 Appendix I Making a preparation1 Ever since the start of my research on the Leiden historical anatomical collections in 2008, I had been wondering about the experience of making a preparation. Given the often miniscule details of the preparations, it seemed difficult to me, and that hunch was confirmed by historical anatomical handbooks, as we have seen for example in chapter 2. Yet these confirmations from historical sources were not entirely satisfying. I kept wondering what it would be like to attend or to perform a dissection, and even more, how it would be to make a preparation. After all, anatomical handbooks like Pole’s 1790 Anatomical Instructor do provide some instructions and guidelines, but also stress the impossibility of learning such tacit somatic skills from a book.2 Obviously, I am not the only historian longing for a more hands-on experience of her topic. As the historian Karin Dannehl has pointed out recently, ‘living history’, in the form of re-enactments, hands-on experience, and handling sessions can be helpful tools in understanding historical objects and practices. When dealing with material culture, she suggests, many gains may be had from using sensual knowledge.3 Dannehl does not specify what those ‘many gains’ might be, but I imagined understanding, and possibly even making explicit tacit knowledge would be possibilities.

  • The Scholarly Atlantic Circuits of Knowledge Between Britain, the Dutch Republic and the Americas in the Eighteenth Century
    The Scholarly Atlantic Circuits of Knowledge between Britain, the Dutch Republic and the Americas in the Eighteenth Century Karel Davids On 30 August 1735, Johan Frederik Gronovius in Leiden wrote to his friend and fellow-naturalist Richard Richardson in Bierley, England, “You will remember that at the time you arrived here in town, you met at Mr. Lawson’s a gentleman from Sweden, that went the same night to Amsterdam, where he is printing his Bibliothecam Botanicam. His name is Carolus Linnaeus.” Gronovius went on to praise Linnaeus’ singular learning “in all parts of natural history” and the excellent qualities of his new taxonomy of minerals, plants and animals. Gronovius predicted that “all the world” would especially be “much pleased” with his “Botanic Table,” although he expected that it would take time “before one can know the right use,” and it might thus “be rejected” by those who would not be prepared to devote some time to study it.1 Gronovius himself was so impressed by the significance of Linnaeus’ achievement that he not only helped to see several of works of Linnaeus through the press in the Netherlands but also decided to reorder a survey of the “plants, fruits, and trees native to Virginia” sent to him in manuscript by John Clayton of Virginia shortly before, according to Linnaeus’ system of classification, and publish it as the Flora Virginica in 1739/1743. This was the first comprehensive overview of the flora in this British American colony to appear anywhere.2 The story of Gronovius, Linnaeus and the Flora Virginica illustrates the main theme of this essay, namely the increasing connectedness between circuits of knowledge in the North Atlantic in the eighteenth century and the prominent role of actors in the Dutch Republic in the emergence and evolu- tion of these networks.

  • Frederik Ruysch and His Repository of Curiosities
    FREDERIK RUYSCH AND HIS REPOSITORY OF CURIOSITIES By Peter Douglas Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731) was a Dutch anatomist and a pioneer in the techniques of preserving organs and tissue. He was born in Den Haag and studied medicine at the University of Leiden, obtaining his medical doctorate in 1664. His main interest was anatomy, which has been his passion since youth, when he would ask gravediggers to open graves so that he could make anatomical investigations. In 1666 he became “praelector” of anatomy for the surgeon’s guild in Amsterdam, and held many other posts in this field. Ruysch studied the art of making anatomical preparations in the laboratory of Johannes van Horne. In addition to his medical and scientific contributions, Ruysch was the first great exponent of the anatomical specimen. He specialized in the construction of artistic arrangements of his material. In several rented houses in Amsterdam he set up his own museum and visitors from all over Europe came to marvel at his “repository of curiosities” and the museum became a major attraction. As Amsterdam’s chief instructor of midwives and “legal doctor” to the court, Ruysch had ample access to the bodies of stillborns and dead infants, using them without consent to create extraordinary multi- specimen scenes. Among the bizarre displays were a number of dioramas assembled from body parts and fetal skeletons. Some of these were captured in meticulous detail by the engraver FREDERIK RUYSCH AND HIS REPOSITORY OF CURIOSITIES Cornelius Huyberts. These engravings were inserted as fold-outs in various early 18th century editions of Ruych’s works.
