After a long career overseas, Barry returned to London where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry was a woman.
So why did James Barry deceive people so long? At that time a woman could not study medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry always wanted to do these things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. Whatever the reason, Barry’s deception was successful. By the time it was discovered she was the first woman in Britain to qualify as a doctor, it was too late for her authorities to do anything on it.

Dr Robert Kronisch, a sports medicine consultant in San Jose who recently completed a study of serious mountain biking injures.

Interviewing 265 riders, he found that more than twenty per cent had suffered injuries serious enough to require medical attention last year.
Many of the interviewers for the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine were from US mountain bike clubs, which suggests that they were advanced riders, possibly more likely to their machines over difficult routes.

First it was aerobics. Then it was jogging. Now cycling has been declared a health hazard. Jogging was never particularly good for you, so doctors said: “Its action could damage the knees and the back.” But if cycling your way to health was ever an alternative, it may not be now.
This is because American doctors have just put a question mark against mountain biking. Almost all cyclists interviewed by one Californian doctor had suffered at least one injury in the past twelve months, so cycling may not be as healthy as you thought.

To understand the great work, which Joseph Lister did, we must know the conditions the hospitals in those early days of the 19th century. Operating rooms were usually in separate buildings so that the other patients in the hospital could not hear the screams of the unhappy patient who was strapped to the operating table. Because of the terrible pain, the surgeon had to operate as quickly as possible. The operating tables were little better than kitchen tables. Under these tables a tub of sand was placed to catch the blood from the operation. The instruments were often not even washed.
The surgeons were not indifferent or careless. They had simply no understanding at all of the bad effects of dirt. They were sorry that their patients died so often but they did not connect this with dirt.
