Specialist Notes

Thomas Sydenham & nbsp; (Windford-Eagle 1624 - London 1689) illustrious English physician is known as the creator of a new clinical school founded on the scrupulous and objective study of pathological symptoms. He is considered the father of epidemiology: the studies conducted on London epidemics are of great importance. In contrast with iatrophysicists and iatrochemists, who interpreted pathological and biological phenomena exclusively in mechanical and chemical terms, Sydenham brought medicine back to the path of clinical observation and personal experience by reiterating the Hippocratic concepts to the point of being called "the English Hippocrates" in the sec. XIX.
