Georg Detharding (medic, 1645)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Detharding (born February 2, 1645 in Stettin ; † March 11, 1712 in Güstrow ) was a German doctor and early author of textbooks for midwives and nursing staff .

Life

Georg Detharding came from a well-known family of doctors and was the son of the court pharmacist of the same name and owner of the Georg Detharding Schöppenstuhl . He studied medicine in Rostock, Copenhagen and Königsberg from 1663 to 1667 and completed his studies on November 7, 1667 with a doctorate . His dissertation was entitled “De imbicillitate ventriculi” ( On the weak stomach ).

Detharding settled as a general practitioner in Stralsund and was elected on March 30, 1674 as assistant to the city ​​physician . Part of his job as a subphysician was the entrance exam for midwives. For this purpose he published in 1675 the text "The questioning of the midwife " , in which he collected 150 examination questions and answers. He was also responsible for the supervision and guidance of Stralsund's wage guards and reward nurses , a then common name for nurses. In this context, in 1679, he wrote one of the first German-language textbooks for nursing with the title “The instructed nurse ” . In it, he recommended that women should preferably be employed as nurses, who had to adhere to the doctor's instructions absolutely and absolutely. Franz Anton Mai , who a century later in Mannheim and Heidelberg also dealt with the question of training standards for midwives and nurses, commented on this question more cautiously in the sense of supplementing medical and nursing skills and knowledge.

On November 30, 1680, Georg Detharding moved to Güstrow and took over the position of city physician and garrison medic. On January 27, 1694 he was appointed court medic of the Mecklenburg Duke Gustav Adolf .

Georg Detharding was married to Anna Catherina Nese (1638–1678) from 1667 and the family had five children. His second marriage was to Anna Maria Dietrich, daughter of the Rostock senator. The twins born in this marriage in 1680 died early. Among Detharding's well-known descendants are numerous physicians, university professors as well as some theologians and lawyers. His son of the same name, Georg Detharding (born May 13, 1671 in Stralsund , † October 23, 1747 in Copenhagen ), also became a doctor. The nickname Georg was used by male descendants of the Detharding family for at least seven generations.
