Professor Thomas Schlich in conversation with Roger Kneebone

Published: May 26, 2019, 4 a.m.

Thomas Schlich\u2019s career spans clinical medicine and the history of medicine. In this conversation we explore similarities and differences between these two approaches, including how the idea of \u2018taking a history\u2019 plays out in different contexts. We discuss how the perspectives of clinical practice and historical scholarship complement one another before talking about Thomas\u2019s seminal work documenting the Swiss \u2018osteosynthesis\u2019 movement (fixing broken bones with screws and plates) in the mid twentieth century.\xa0
