Johann Storch (born February 2, 1681 in Ruhla near Eisenach ; † January 9, 1751 in Gotha ) was a German doctor , city ​​physician and ducal court doctor and personal physician . He was also known under the names Johann Pelargus and Hulderich Pelargus.

Life

Johann Storch received his first training from private teachers and also attended a school in neighboring Eisenach between 1694 and 1696. The father was a herbalist ("Empiricus") Storch studied medicine in Jena and Erfurt from 1698 . In 1699 Storch had to leave Jena due to financial difficulties. In Erfurt he received his doctorate in medicine with a thesis on "De paucitate et delectu medicamentorum" . He became a doctor in Weimar and went to Eisenach in 1708, where he first became a city doctor and from 1718 a city ​​physician . In 1720 he became inspector of all pharmacies, as well as ducal court doctor and personal physician. In 1735, because of his skills, he received a call as personal physician at the Russian court, which he refused. In 1739 Johann Storch, nicknamed EROTIANUS II, was elected a member of the Leopoldina . In 1742 he became a city and district physician and garrison doctor in Gotha. Storch died in Gotha.

Johann Storch earned special services in raising qualification standards for nursing and midwifery and thus placed himself in the tradition of Georg Detharding . For Storch, patient maintenance was classically based on the sex res non naturales of Hippocrates . In his 124-page Instruction for Nursing Women, published in 1746, Storch took up older writings, but also processed contemporary ideas for nursing. In this publication, he also dealt extensively with superstition and assigned the nursing staff appropriate tasks in combating it.

Storch confessed to the teaching of Georg Ernst Stahl .

Storch dealt with the diseases of soldiers, he wrote a multi-volume work on women's ailments and treated children and patients with infectious diseases such as leaf and measles.
