John Keats's time as a medical student provided much fodder for the imagination of readers of all persuasions. In particular, ‘Z’, in the fourth installment of the ‘Cockney School’ essays, took pains to ensure that readers knew of his time training to be an apothecary, working to frame Keats, first, as connected to the lowest branch of medical practice, and, second, as having failed as badly at that unworthy pursuit as he did at poetry. But what would ‘Z’, or any of his readers, have known about the training of an apothecary, about medical pedagogy, about the internal workings of the profession? As outsiders, what could they have known, beyond perception, conjecture, and opinion? And on what were those opinions based? This essay reads ‘Z’'s comments in the context of first-hand accounts of the state of contemporary medical pedagogy, seeking to account both for ‘Z’'s dismissal of Keats to ‘the shops’ and for the continuing fascination with his connections to medicine in these terms.

This article aims to trace and describe the bioethical threads in medical practice and the understanding of medicine among Tibetan refugees living in India. Taking up such a task results mainly from the fact that only traces of bioethical reflection are visible in Tibetan society, but without the awareness that it requires systematic reflection on its essence and changes that accompany modern medicine. I define the state of the discussion on Tibetan bioethics as preparadigmatic, i.e., one that precedes the recognition of the importance of bioethics and the elaboration of its basic concepts. In this paper, I will show how the Tibetan refugees today, in an unconscious way, approach bioethics, using the example of life-related topics, namely beginning and death. To this end, I chose topics such as abortion, fetal sex reassignment, euthanasia, and suicide. On this basis, I will indicate the main reasons that hinder the emergence of bioethics and those that may contribute to systematic discussions in the future. An introduction to Tibetan medicine will precede these considerations. I will show how medical traditions, especially the Rgyud bzhi text, are related to Tibetan Buddhism and opinions of the 14th Dalai Lama.

Balkan Wars

During the Balkan Wars of 1912-13, being sent by the S.P. Burg Slavic Charity Society, I spent more than half a year in total in Bulgaria, working as a surgeon in the rear hospitals in Sofia, Plevna and Philippopolis. During this time, I had to get acquainted with the state of Bulgarian medicine in general, and with the provision of assistance to victims of war. I will try to convey my observations here.

The state of ethical-legal oaths in UK medical practice today: Is it time to look at standardising?

The Uk

The taking of an ethical-legal oath is a “rite of passage” for many medical practitioners. A 1997 paper noted that half of medical schools in the UK administer an oath. I performed a survey of UK medical schools to see whether these are still used today. An electronic survey was sent to 31 UK medical schools, asking them whether the Hippocratic Oath (in any version) was taken by their medical students; non-respondents were followed up by telephone. Information was obtained from 21 UK medical schools, giving a response rate of 68% (21/31). A total of 18 (86%) institutions use an oath. Ethical-legal oaths are therefore taken in the vast majority of UK medical schools today. However, a great variety are used, and there are advantages in standardisation. My recommendation is that the Standard Medical Oath of the UK (SMOUK) is adopted by all medical schools, and that this is also taken regularly by doctors as part of revalidation.

The gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas has become the foundation for developing numerous molecular systems used in research and, increasingly, in medical practice. In particular, Cas proteins devoid of nucleolytic activity (dead Cas proteins; dCas) can be used to deliver functional cargo to programmed sites in the genome. In this review, we describe current CRISPR systems used for developing different dCas-based molecular approaches and summarize their most significant applications. We conclude with comments on the state-of-art in the CRISPR field and future directions.

Summary The evolution of professionalism in Minnesota began when allopathic and homeopathic physician leaders organised medical societies and colleges to define and perpetuate their styles of practice. The epidemics of diphtheria that ravaged the state demanded prompt public health measures of quarantine to reduce the spread of the disease. Then the successful utilization of diphtheria antitoxin in Europe encouraged its local production in Minnesota and the re-education of all physicians there to convince them that they were no longer helpless to treat this infection that killed so many children. Their professionalisation was completed when they implemented the cure for diphtheria that laboratory science had produced. Homeopathic and allopathic practices converged as Minnesota physicians transformed their occupation from merely caring and comforting to actively treating and curing a serious infection.

Dear Dr. Park: It is pretty generally agreed that medical practice in this country has been based on the premise of free choice of physician by the patient, and maintenance of a satisfactory, direct, doctor-patient relationship without the intervention of a third party. At present the opponents of tax-supported, government-controlled medical care are convinced that some form of voluntary, prepaid medical insurance constitutes the best means of protecting our free choice of physician and direct doctor-patient relationship principles. Some 40 years ago the beginnings of voluntary, prepaid medical care plans were made in this country. These beginnings were made in the Pacific Northwest. They had their origin here because of the peculiar demands of the local, hazardous industries of lumbering, mining and fishing. Contract practice came into being, and received tremendous impetus from the Industrial Insurance Law which was passed in Washington in 1917. Competition for contracts became so intense during the depression period which started in 1929 that vicious methods threatened the structure of medical practice in the State, and it seemed likely that most of the physicians would be relegated to practicing as salaried individuals under a form of health insurance. It was at this time that the various county medical service bureaus in the State of Washington were revived or organized. In Pierce County (Tacoma) a Bureau had been in continuous operation since 1917, and in King County (Seattle) one had been in operation from 1917 to 1925. These bureaus had been organized primarily to contract for work under the State Industrial Insurance Law, and to guarantee a free choice of physician to the workers who belonged to the Bureau. In May 1933 the King County Medical Service Bureau Society was instrumental in organizing the King County Medical Service Bureau to compete with existing contract groups, and to block a proposal by an insurance company for selling insurance and hiring physicians to render necessary medical care.

Medical Malpractice Claims

Over fifteen years after first reporting to the State of New York, the Harvard Medical Practice Study (HMPS) continues to have a significant impact in medical malpractice policy debates. In those debates the HMPS has come to stand for four main propositions. First, “medical injury… accounts for more deaths than all other kinds of accidents combined” and “more than a quarter of those were caused by substandard care.” Second, the vast majority of people who are injured as result of substandard care do not file a claim. Third, “a substantial majority of malpractice claims filed are not based on provider carelessness or even iatrogenic injury.” Fourth, “whether negligence or a medical injury had occurred… bore little relation to the outcome of the claims.”Medical malpractice researchers have long known that the HMPS provides far stronger support for the first two of these propositions than for the last two; the HMPS was not designed or powered to reach strong conclusions about the validity of medical malpractice claims.
