History of medicine is important, internist savs
By TOMHUTTON Staff Reporter
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—They were doctors in name only, having had little formal medical education, but surgeons in private hospitals, the predecessors of modern medicine.
In a weekly Saturday morning lecture at the University of Kansas Medical Center's Clendening Library, Robert Hudson, an internist, trace the history of medical training in the past from colonial times to the present.
Hudson, former executive vice chancellor of the College of Health Sciences, said it was important for medical students to see the evolution of their profession and present level of specialization and high standards.
tour stages, which he called the
beginner's rock age, renaissance and
department.
IN THE BEGINNING period, which Hudson said was from 1607 to 1807, doctors also were often barbers and had no formal education.
"The barbers came from the ranks of butchers or undertakers or any other individual who felt no particular role and went into the human body," Hudson said.
Hudson divided medical history into
Most of the medical schooling was in the hands of the clergy, Hudson said. Medical technology, through various books, was available to anyone who could read, Hudson said. The majority of people who could read were clergy.
Hudson gave an example of the doctor who doubled as a preacher during this period.
In the 1800s, one Kansas doctor was also an ordained minister. This student at
child's birth, christen the child, follow him through various illnesses and finally might say the eulogy at the child's funeral.
"These men controlled both the moral and physical lives of their paraphrase."
ENGLISH PHYSICIANS who were advanced in their education, came to the United States in small numbers, Hudson said.
"There were a few physicians who trained in Britain that operated in this country, but very few," Hudson said. "A couple of the British physicians, something like spending time on Devil's Island."
During the late 1700s and early 1800s, the United States finally began developing its own medical schools, which were patterned after British universities. The Columbia College, which later developed into Columbia University, was formed. It was followed in 1783 by Harvard University and by Dartmouth College. In 1806, the United States had four very good medical schools, Hudson said.
The dark ages, as Hudson labeled the period from about 1865, was a step closer to the present.
During this period, medical schools opened in response to the terpineni incident. Students paid to
"From the turn of the century to 1840, there were 26 of these schools created, and by 1876 there were 47 more," Hudson said. "By the end of the 100th century, we know that there are things put that into perspective, there are something like 125 now."
attend lectures and conduct experiments and the quality of the schools declined. Graduation from these schools was just one more fee, Hudson said.
THESE CONDITIONS continued until after the Civil War, when the United States moved into a medical education renaissance, Hudson said. It was during this time, although conditions were still horrible in most places, that a gradual reform movement took place.
University, with its high standards of achievement, was an example of the changing attitudes.
What Hudson called the period of enlightenment in medicine, from 1910 to the present, was started by the Flexner Report in 1910.
This report criticized the unsanitary conditions at medical schools throughout the nation. The KU School of Medicine, created in 1889, was criticized for being separate from the Lawrence campus.
The report, combined with a change in medical standards, led to a citation of the study.
Some of the many changes that occurred during this period included the introduction of doctor instructors, specialization and discontinuance of doctors teaching the basic sciences.
