Friedrich Bird
Friedrich Ludwig Heinrich Bird (born September 1, 1791 in Wesel , † March 19, 1851 in Bonn ) was a German medic.
Life
Friedrich Bird was born the son of Johann Gerhard Bird, a Prussian civil servant and tax collector.
From 1805 he attended the Gymnasium Wesel (today Konrad-Duden-Gymnasium Wesel ) with the director Dr. med. Jodocus Casparus Albertus Eichelberg (1749-1819) and began studying medicine at the University of Duisburg in November 1811 under the rector Professor Daniel Erhard Günther (1752-1834) .
In December 1813 he joined the 1st Pomeranian Infantry Regiment as a volunteer hunter and was released as an officer after the end of the campaign; he continued his studies. In the second campaign of the Wars of Liberation he was involved as a senior physician at Field Hospital No. 15 and was released in March 1816 after it ended. Shortly afterwards he went to the University of Halle and received his doctorate there on August 23, 1817. In autumn 1819 he passed the state examination in Berlin and received his license to practice medicine on March 11, 1820, then he set up his practice in Rees .
In 1830 he was offered the position of second doctor in the First Rhenish Insane Asylum in Siegburg with the director Maximilian Jacobi . Shortly after his entry in March 1830, he discovered that there were disagreements with the director that went so far that his health suffered. Director Jacobi advocated a system of rigor and pedagogical influence, while Friedrich Bird advocated the principle of extreme mildness. On June 2, 1834, after difficult negotiations, he retired with a full salary and retired to Bonn. He refused any further employment and public activity and was only active as a writer.
As a writer, he created many medical works that were used for teaching the teaching of mental illnesses; he was also active in the historical field. In 1836 his main work, Pathology and Therapy of Mental Illnesses, was published . In his later writings he described the psychiatric disorders of historical figures in the Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Psychiatrie .
He died of phlebitis after self-administered bloodletting became infected and ulcerated.
