  • Doctors in Court, Honour, and Professional Ethics: Two Scandals in Imperial Germany*
    Gesnerus 68/1 (2011) 61–79 Doctors in Court, Honour, and Professional Ethics: Two Scandals in Imperial Germany* Andreas-Holger Maehle Summary Comparing two public medical affairs which involved disciplinary proceed- ings and libel actions, one from Bavaria and one from Prussia, this article analyzes the dynamics behind legal conflicts over doctors’ professional ethics in Imperial Germany. In both the case of Dr Maurice Hutzler, who com mitted suicide after conflicts with senior colleagues at the Gisela Children’s Hospi- tal and a sentence of the court of honour of the Munich Medical District Society, and the Berlin “patient trade” affair, in which the medical professors Ernst von Leyden, Hermann Senator, Karl Anton Ewald and Carl Posner were accused of having made payments to middlemen for bringing them lucrative private patients, notions of personal and professional honour played a central role. The Munich case highlighted shortcomings of the Bavarian medical court of honour system, which was less developed than its Prussian counterpart. The analysis of the two cases suggests that the ethics of medical practice in early twentieth-century Germany should be viewed as part of a culture of honour. Keywords: medical courts of honour; professional ethics; disciplinary pro- ceedings; libel trials; Imperial Germany *I gratefully acknowledge the support of my research by the Wellcome Trust as part of a Strate- gic Award on the theme “Knowledge, Ethics and Representation of Medicine and Health: Historical Perspectives”.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • 'God's Ethicist': Albert Moll and His Medical Ethics in Theory and Practice
    Med. Hist. (2012), vol. 56(2), pp. 217–236. c The Author 2012. Published by Cambridge University Press 2012 doi:10.1017/mdh.2011.34 ‘God’s Ethicist’: Albert Moll and His Medical Ethics in Theory and Practice ANDREAS-HOLGER MAEHLE∗ Centre for the History of Medicine and Disease, Wolfson Research Institute, Durham University, Queen’s Campus, Stockton TS17 6BH, UK Abstract: In 1902, Albert Moll, who at that time ran a private practice for nervous diseases in Berlin, published his comprehensive book on medical ethics, Arztliche¨ Ethik. Based on the concept of a contractual relationship between doctor and client, it gave more room to the self-determination of patients than the contemporary, usually rather paternalistic, works of this genre. In the first part of the present paper this is illustrated by examining Moll’s views and advice on matters such as truthfulness towards patients, euthanasia, and abortion. The second part of this article discusses how Moll engaged with the then publicly debated issues of experimentation on hospital patients and the ‘trade’ of foreign private patients between agents and medical consultants. In both matters Moll collected evidence of unethical practices and tried to use it to bring about change without damaging his or the profession’s reputation. However, with his tactical manoeuvres, Moll made no friends for himself among his colleagues or the authorities; his book on ethics also met with a generally cool response from the medical profession and seems to have been more appreciated by lawyers than by other

  • Ancestor§ Arm§
    A BOOK OF ANCESTOR§ AND ARM§ by MARY EMILY LACY ''Laudemus viros gloriosus, et parentes nostros in generatione sua." ,,.,,.,.,,,.,.,,rv.~~~~~ PRIVATELY PRINTED DECEMBER 1936 Printed in England at The Kynoch Press Birmingham PREFACE THE ORIGIN of this little Memoir is as follows: For several years I had taken a lively interest in the history of the families from whom I claimed descent, and had gradually accumulated a large number of notes on subjects relating to them, with_ a vague idea of turning these notes to account at some future period. Time and opportunity were, however, lacking, and it was not until the autumn of 1932 that this book was at length begun. At the outset it became evident that the notes already collected were of too fragmentary a character to be satisfactorily woven into a consecutive narrative, even when combined with matter drawn from documents in the possession of the writer, and from a Book of Events kept by her for over half a century. A large amount of additional information was needed, and this information was to a great extent acquired through diligent research in the Reading Room of the British Museum, and in the Public Libraries of London. Even so a considerable number of blanks remained, only possible to be filled in by help from without, and this help was most willingly rendered in nearly every instance-when sought-not only by kinsfolk and friends but also by those personally unknown to me. My grateful thanks are due to my cousins, Mrs. Dacre Lacy and Miss Gertrude Lacy, for the loan of books and papers throwing light on the association of the Lacys of Great Y ar­ mouth with the counties of Northumberland and Cumberland, and, later on, with the Island of Guernsey, and to Mrs.

  • Die Vierte Dimension Wissensdiskurse Und Imagination in Alan Moores Und Eddie Campbells »From Hell«
    Die vierte Dimension Wissensdiskurse und Imagination in Alan Moores und Eddie Campbells »From Hell« Joachim Trinkwitz Der umfangreiche Comic From Hell der Briten Alan Moore und Eddie Campbell, in unter- schiedlicher Form seriell erschienen in den Jahren 1989 bis 1998 und in Buchform gesam- melt erstmals 1999,1 spielt hauptsächlich im Herbst des Jahres 1888, als der unter dem Namen »Jack the Ripper« bekannt gewordene Serienmörder im Londoner Stadtteil White- chapel wahrscheinlich fünf Frauen auf bestialische Weise ums Leben brachte – die Identität des Täters ist bis heute nicht geklärt, nicht einmal die genaue Zahl seiner Opfer ist sichergestellt.2 Der für Idee und Text stehende Moore schließt sich einer historisch schnell widerlegten These an, die den Täter als William Gull, Leibarzt Königin Victorias, identifiziert und das Königshaus selbst als Auftraggeber mit in die Morde involviert sieht3. Dabei ist sich Moore, wie ein extensiver Anmerkungsapparat zum Comic (Appendix I) klarmacht, über die töner- nen Füße seiner Quelle durchaus im Klaren; sie erlaubt ihm hingegen, anhand der Figur eines Wissenschaftlers und der Gegenüberstellung unterschiedlicher Wissensdiskurse den Gegensatz von Fakten und Fiktion zu thematisieren. Das Werden eines Wissenschaftlergeistes Sir William Withey Gull (1816–1890), die historische Persönlichkeit, auf welcher der Pro- tagonist von From Hell basiert, war eine bedeutende Figur der englischen Medi- zingeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Nach dem Studium der Physiologie, vergleichenden Anatomie, Medizin und Chirurgie an der University of London nahm Gulls akademische Karriere einen steilen Verlauf. Schon vor seiner mit der Goldmedaille ausgezeichneten Dis- sertation führte sie ihn über die Stationen eines Dozenten für Naturphilosophie, Physiolo- gie und Anatomie sowie eines »Medical Superintendent of the wards for lunatics«, danach zur Professur für Physiologie, Mitglied der Royal Society und diversen Ämtern als prakti- scher Mediziner bis hin zum Leiter des zentralen Londoner Krankenhauses Guy’s Hospital; 1 Alan Moore u.
