The talk will review changing attitudes to TB in the 18th/19thC, with the rise in belief that infection could stimulate creativity in artists, composers, writers, and poets; examples of creative subjects who suffered from TB include Keats, Shelley, Chopin, the Brontë sisters, Chekhov, Kafka, George Orwell, Aubrey Beardsley, and Modigliani. Some physicians considered that ‘toxins’ from the disease could affect the behaviour and creativity of TB patients; could there be any truth in the idea that infection could modify a patient’s behaviour? Join us on 17.9 @6:30pm. https://catalogue.apothecaries.org/

Dr Jane Hone - "I took the DHMSA course in 2020/21 having had a lifelong interest in the history of medicine and having had my interest peaked further by doing a short course in 2018. I have maintained my involvement with the Faculty by becoming a Fellow , getting involved in the organisation of the course, becoming an examiner and most recently by becoming the Co-deputy President.
I would wholeheartedly recommend the course for those interested in the history of medicine both for the quality of the lectures given by some world renown experts.
