#Schwester und das Bild der dienenden Nonne?
Stimmt das?
Wenn wir jetzt die Geschichte der #Krankenpflege ab der Zeit der Industrialisierung anschauen, dann wurde dieses Bild der ärztlichen Helferin mühsam konstruiert. #HistNursing #Histodon #HistMed -

"Milk sickness is a kind of poisoning that affects individuals who ingest milk, other dairy products, or meat from a cow that has fed on the white snakeroot plant, which contains the poison tremetol."
"Dr. Anna Pierce Hobbs Bixby is credited with identifying the plant in the 1830s. Legend has it that she was taught about the plant's properties by a Shawnee woman."

Les archives personnelles d'Augusta Klumpke-Déjerine, conservées à l'Académie de médecine, témoignent bien de sa difficulté à faire des études de médecine. Rien que le fait d'avoir conservé ses cartes d'étudiante en dit long sur l'effort que ce fut pour de venir la première femme reçue au concours de l'Internat des hôpitaux de Paris. https://bibliotheque.academie-medecine.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Fonds-D%C3%A9jerine-Klumpke.pdf

c'est ce qui m'a le plus frappé en découvrant les collections d'anatomopathologie : y'a très peu de temps entre la collecte (décès, autopsie et préparation des restes humains à conserver ou moulage en cire sur un modèle vivant) et la communication scientifique. https://numerabilis.u-paris.fr/ressources/pdf/sfhm/hsm/HSMx1996x030x002/HSMx1996x030x002x0151.pdf

NEW PUBLICATION: First nations knowledge on health
The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges; the eighth book in the series, by Shawana Andrews, Sandra Eades and Fiona Stanley and edited by Margo Ngawa Neale, focuses on health. First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture shows once again how much we can learn from the deeper past about defining and preserving health, the crucial role played by the community, and how both require an environmental approach.

https://www.en-attendant-nadeau.fr/2020/05/03/hecatombe-typhus-sovietique/
« Après la défaite de l’Armée Blanche, un nouveau péril blanc menace la Russie : le pou du typhus, combattu par les soldats de l’Armée Rouge en se lavant et nettoyant leurs affaires vigoureusement » (1921)
« Le pou du typhus serre la main à la mort » (1919)(on note que le pou est moins blanc quand on n'en a pas besoin pour le slogan.)
