In this (not-so-mini) episode, Richard and Mia chat with Tufts University history professor, Alisha Rankin, about the paper she presented for the 29th Hideyo Ngouchi Lecture and as part of the Johns Hopkins Program in the History of Science, Medicine & Technology's colloquium series. Her paper, "The Skillful Surgeon: Surgical Expertise and Contested Authority in Early Modern Europe," was about these  manuscripts made by Renaissance-era surgeons that illustrated surgical procedures. This is a bit of a longer mini episode -- we had so much fun chatting we simply could not cut it down! 

The Wellcome Collection has digital scans of some of manuscripts discussed:

Georg Bartisch

For the Medical Record is a podcast from Johns Hopkins University's Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine, hosted by Research Associate Richard Del Rio and Postdoctoral Fellow Mia Levenson. New episodes are released biweekly.

In these episodes, we talk to people affiliated with the Center to discuss their research within the history of medicine and the medical humanities. We ask them why their work matters, and how history and the humanities can help us to better understand debates and practices within medicine and care today.
