history of medicine, correspondence of medics, diseases of the 16th century, treatment methodsAbstract
The subject of the studies is the phenomenon of making the diagnosis and undertaking treatment based on the patient’s perceived symptoms reported by correspondence. Diagnosing and treating a patient from a distance – without prior examination and visual observation of symptoms – was practised during the Renaissance. Patients used this form of therapy when they had no direct access to those doctors who enjoyed the most fame in the medical community and at courts.
