Attracted to ill humors, or what hope for Shakespeare's cachexic couples, May 18, 2017 |
Medicine -- History, Literature and medicine, Temperament, Body fluids, Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, 2010-2020, Early modern period |
The theory of the four humors, introduced in Europe by the Baghdad physician Ibn Butlan, dominated not only the scientific thinking of the early modern era, but also general ideas about the well-being of the individual and society. This lecture explores the cachexic body “habits” of two of Shakespeare famous couples, Hamlet and Ophelia, and Katherina and Petruchio, as well as the methods used to mediate each couple’s shared “ill disposition.” |

Bring out your dead (papers)!: Early modern medical practitioners and archivists and collectors, September 28, 2017 |
Medicine -- History, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, 2010-2020, Early modern period, 18th century |
Early modern physicians built their libraries as dynamic, interactive information resources. They constructed their collections over many years, buying and inheriting books old and new. Alongside their books, they generated and passed on valuable caches of written records, including correspondence and medical casebooks. This talk considers physicians as collectors of books and papers: what can their use of these materials tell us not only about their medical practices, but also their varied pursuits as naturalists, editors and authors, scientific reformers, and museum founders? |

Civility on trial: nurses, surgeons, and medical extremity in Civil War hospitals, October 27, 2016 |
Medicine -- History, United States History Civil War, 1861-1865, Surgery, Military, Medical ethics, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, United States, 2010-2020, 19th century |
"Civility on Trial" considers the clash of expectations that confronted surgeons and relief workers in military hospitals during the Civil War. The spectacle of death that gripped the public imagination raised physicians’ professional status and brought medicine to the center of a cultural dialogue once reserved for the clergy, but it had little impact on raising the prospects of nurses and other subordinate health workers. |

Dr. Helkiah Crooke (1576-1648): the historical and literary legacy of an early modern physician, September 22, 2016 |
Medicine -- History, Literature and medicine, Human anatomy, Crooke, Helkiah, 1576-1648, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, 2010-2020, Early modern period |
Dr. Helkiah Crooke wrote the first comprehensive English anatomy manual. His book, Mikrokosmographia, was printed by William Jaggard, who also published Shakespeare's First Folio. But both Crooke's and Jaggard's careers were endangered by their decision to produce this controversial text, which made detailed medical knowledge available to the general public. A close examination of Crooke's career as an author and physician provides insight into shifting views on medical authority at a crucial point in the history of Western medicine. |

Dr. Nurse: knowledge, politics, and the making of the academic nurse, October 25, 2018 |
Nurses, Medicine -- History, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, 2010-2020, 20th century |
Nurse theorists, educators, and regional planners established early PhD programs in nursing in the 1960s and 1970s. As these nurses sought to define nursing science and establish nursing as an academic discipline, they confronted generational and intra-professional politics; limited resources; the gendered and hierarchical politics of academia; and the complexity of drawing disciplinary boundaries for a discipline that is inherently interdisciplinary. |

Gender, Memory, and Authority in the Early Modern Medical Print Marketplace, February 25, 2016 |
Medical publishing, Authorship, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, 2010-2020, 17th century, 18th century |
In seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Britain, medical practitioners, whether physicians, midwifes, apothecaries, or self-trained purveyors of astrological, chemical, and herbal remedies, built their careers out of a diverse range of activities. They treated patients, made and sold medicines, wrote and published books, built collections of books and curiosities, and engaged in related scientific activities, such as natural history, chymistry, and experimental philosophy. This talk will examine how and why medical practitioners engaged with print publication. Considering, in particular, cases of posthumous publication, Dr. Yale asks: how did medical practitioners establish (or attempt to establish) authority and authorship in the medical print marketplace? |

Indians of North America, Medical care, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, United States, 2010-2020 |
The health status of Native Americans has, for 200 years, been substantially poorer than that of other US citizens. Responsibility for their healthcare has (theoretically) been the federal government. The ups and downs of this unique arrangement, many of them detrimental, are detailed, as well as the special status of these Indians in our society today. |

The history of torture including the experience of Janusz Bardach, November 17, 2016 |

Torture has existed for most of recorded history. Until the 2nd century torture was used only on slaves, on the assumption that slaves could not be trusted to reveal the truth voluntarily. Focus will be on doctors who torture, and those who are tortured because they refuse to participate. The classic research study by Stanley Milgram at Yale showed how ordinary, decent people can become torturers. Recent atrocities will be discussed, such as those in Russia (Stalin executed or sent to the gulag twenty million Russians), Germany during WWII, the British in northern Ireland, the Japanese, and the United States. |

Injections, itches, and institutions: the experience of rural medicine in Iowa, 1920-1950, January 28, 2016 |
Medicine, Rural, University of Iowa. History of Medicine Society, Hardin Library for Health Sciences, United States -- Iowa -- Iowa City, United States -- Iowa, 2010-2020 |
When Clara Skott, an Iowa farm wife living in South Dakota during the 1918 influenza pandemic, received a series of injections to stave off the flu, the hypodermic needle was a symbol of modern medical practice. Iowa doctors’ ledger books show “hypos” were a staple of their treatment repertoire. What was in the hypo was not always clear. Clara was given a homegrown influenza vaccine; other patients received barbiturates, vitamins, or placebos. $1.00 for an injection was beyond the reach of many Iowans. This talk explores country doctors’ practices and the range of ways rural Iowans handled health issues in the first half of the 20th century. |

“When Dr. Elmer DeGowin opened the blood bank at the University Hospital in Iowa City in 1939, one year after starting the blood transfusion service at the hospital and less than two years following the establishment of the nation's very first blood bank in Chicago, he could not have envisioned the impact blood banking and transfusion medicine would have on medical science and hospital-based care.” Dr. J. Brooks Jackson. “Elmer DeGowin was a trailblazer in everything he touched. He founded the first Allergy Clinic, directed the first Thyroid Clinic, the first Blood Bank, the first Course in Physical Diagnosis, and had the first research grant in Internal Medicine.” Dr. Frank Abboud |

Iowa's Richard Edwin Shope, MD: his contributions to influenza research and One Medicine-One Health, January 26, 2017 |

Richard E. Shope MD (1901-1966) was a pioneer microbiologist who investigated a variety of human and animal diseases. Dr. Shope joined the laboratories of the Rockefeller Institute at Princeton to work with Dr. Paul Lewis, the discoverer of polio virus. In 1928, he left tuberculosis research to investigate hog cholera where he observed his first outbreak of swine influenza. Later he isolated the virus from pigs and its co-pathogen “Haemophilus influenzae suis,”and postulated that the swine virus was related to the human 1918 pandemic virus. |
