Research
Focus
- Research is primarily directed to the history of medicine though when the opportunity arises I do attempt to take part in and write about more direct clinical experiences. When I can meld the two I am pleased. My work on Victor Eisenmenger I think nicely integrates some cardiac physiology with an intriguing historical perspective. Tracing the roots of maladie du petit papier and combining that with a clinical study with my own patients was original and satisfying. There has been one funded project.
