http://www.uic.edu/depts/mcne/founders/page0062.html

Extractions: Mitchell was of Scottish origin but he was born in Philadelphia. His studies included a period with Claude Bernard in Paris. His experiences in the Civil War brought him to fame because his writings on nerve and related injuries became classics as did his description of causalgia with William Keen and G.R. Morehouse they created another great work on "Reflex Paralysis". Research and reporting on post paralytic chorea, erythromelalgia (Weir Mitchells disease) and cerebellar function followed. In the early 80s he turned all major activity into literature and wrote good short stories, essays, drama and verse. He is considered the most eminent American neurologist of his time.

Extractions: Biographical Project, 1914-1931 S. Weir Mitchell, physician, novelist, and poet, was born in Philadelphia on 15 February 1829. Mitchell was the son of John Kearsley Mitchell (1798-1858), a physician and lecturer at Jefferson Medical College, and Matilda Henry Mitchell (1800-1872). S. Weir Mitchell entered the University of Pennsylvania at the age of fifteen but withdrew during his senior year when he became ill. In 1848, he enrolled in Jefferson Medical College, and by March 1850, at the age of twenty- one, Mitchell had completed his medical degree. In the fall of 1850, S. Weir Mitchell departed for Europe with his sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth stayed with her younger sister in England, and Mitchell settled in Paris to study medicine. During this influential year, Mitchell dined with Sir James Paget and Edward Jenner, studied with Claude Bernard, and purchased his own microscope. After a year in Paris, he travelled with his sister in Italy and Switzerland. At the request of their ailing father, Mitchell and Elizabeth returned home in the fall of 1851. Upon returning to Philadelphia, Mitchell set up a demanding schedule for himself; he assisted his father during the day and worked in the laboratory in the evenings. It was during this time that Mitchell conducted experiments with snake venom and first became interested in neurology. By 1855, John Kearsley Mitchell had retired, and Mitchell became responsible for the support of his parents and siblings. A few years later, Mitchell started a family of his own. He married Mary Middleton Elwyn in 1858, and the couple had two children, John K. Mitchell (1859-1917) and Langdon Elwyn Mitchell (1862-1935). In 1862, Mitchell's wife died of diphtheria.

Weir Mitchell Rest Cure
Silas Weir Mitchell (18291914) on his Rest Cure. Note Silas Weir Mitchell was an American physician who became famous for his treatment of nervous disorders
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~clit121/weirmit.html

Extractions: on his Rest Cure. Note : Silas Weir Mitchell was an American physician who became famous for his treatment of nervous disorders. Fat and Blood , 1877, describes his rest cure. He also wrote historical romances.) In carrying out my general plan of treatment it is my habit to ask the patient to remain in bed from six weeks to two months. At first, and in some cases for four or five weeks, I do not permit the patient to sit up or to sew or write or read. The only action allowed is that needed to clean the teeth. In some instances I have not permitted the patient to turn over without aid, and this I have done because sometimes I think no motion desirable, and because sometimes the moral influence of absolute repose is of use. In such cases I arrange to have the bowels and water passed while lying down, and the patient is lifted on to a lounge at bedtime and sponged, and then lifted back again into the newly-made bed. In all cases of weakness, treated by rest, I insist on the patient being fed by the nurse, and, when well enough to sit up in bed, I insist that the meats shall be cut up, so as to make it easier for the patient to feed herself. In many cases I allow the patient to sit up in order to obey the calls of nature, but I am always careful to have the bowels kept reasonably free from costiveness, knowing well how such a state and the efforts it gives rise to enfeeble a sick person.

http://www.painonline.org/mitchell.htm

Extractions: Nerve Pain Pioneer S. Weir Mitchell (1829-1914) earned a reputation as an eminent neurosurgeon during the era of the American Civil War. His 1872 book, Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences (J.P. Lippencott, Philadelphia), still contains many valid and informative points, including comments on the ability of severe nerve pain to turn the bravest soldier into a trembling coward. In 1872, 34 years before Dejerine and Roussy published their landmark study on central pain, Mitchell made the following observations on nerve injury pain. In contrast to ordinary pain, which tends to be worse in the evening, the person with nerve injury pain awakes with it and it "pursues him with increasing torture throughout the day" Weir was contrasting it with toothache pain, which doesn't get going until there has been time for circulation to occur during the day. The "remote" cause of nerve injury pain is in the wound, while the "immediate" cause is in the site of origin of the nerve; a very astute observation and ahead of Dr. Mitchell's time. Spontaneous and evoked pain would be consistent with this theoretical arrangement wherein immediate causation results in spontaneous continuous pain while stimulation of an area of the body elicits greater pain as the "remote" augmenting location.

Extractions: JMC Class of 1850 A noted experimental physiologist sometimes called the "Father of Neurology," Silas Weir Mitchell was the son of John Kearsley Mitchell, professor of medicine at Jefferson Medical College from 1841-1858. While renowned as a clinician and neurologist, S. Weir Mitchell was also celebrated as an author as famous for his novels and poetry as for his contributions to medical literature. S. Weir Mitchell. Mr. Kris Kringle; a Christmas tale . Philadelphia: Jacobs. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Mitchell received his MD from Jefferson Medical College in 1850 and followed that with study in Europe until 1851. Upon his return to the United States, Mitchell began his private practice and research in Philadelphia, interrupted by his service as an Army Surgeon in various Philadelphia hospitals during the Civil War. Mitchell's medical studies during his lifetime ranged from nerve injuries to sleeping disorders, from ailuophobia (morbid fear of cats) to snake venom, and from the physchological effects of amputations to reflex paralysis. In addition, Mitchell introduced the use of inhalations of nitrite of amyl to check epileptic seizures. But he gained world-wide recognition for his "rest cure" for women, outlined in his book

Extractions: JOHN MCCRAE McCrae earned an M.B. degree at the University of Toronto in 1898, and did further training there and at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (as one of William Osler 's housestaff). After service in the South African War, he began medical practice in Montreal along with lecturing at McGill University, and medical writing, including A Textbook of Pathology for Students of Medicine (1912). During the first world war he served in Flanders as brigade surgeon of the 1st Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery. On May 3, 1915, during a lull in the fighting, and shortly after one of his comrades was mortally wounded, McCrae wrote out the rondeau, "In Flanders Fields." It was published, anonymously, in the December 8 issue of Punch , and has of course been reprinted and recited countless times since. He was subsequently stationed with the McGill unit at No.3 Canadian General Hospital at Boulogne. On January 23, 1918, he fell ill, and on the 28th died of lobar pneumonia complicated by suppurative meningitis.

Extractions: He rode and rode until the seventh night when he came upon the massive building. Its doors were open to all, sinners and saints. He dismounted and led his horse through the gates of the convent. He heard voices coming from a balcony above him, and as he looked up he saw her. There she stood, the beautiful Guinevere. His heart nearly leapt with love, and as she turned and saw him, hers leapt too. He yelled, "I could not help myself. I had to see you. I had to speak with you." I heard her whisper under her breath. She prayed for God's help and forgiveness. She turned to her sisters and said, "That is he." They understood and quickly rushed down the stairs to bring his weary body inside.
