Joseph Stolz (medic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Stolz (born December 4, 1811 in Matrei am Brenner , † February 8, 1877 in Hall in Tirol ) was an Austrian doctor. It stood for the very rare combination of surgery and psychiatry .

Life

From 1826 he attended the Academic Gymnasium Innsbruck . In 1832 he began to study philosophy at the University of Innsbruck . After two years he switched to medicine.

Vienna

In the autumn of 1833 he went to the University of Vienna . He spent the academic year 1834/35 at the University of Padua . After returning to Vienna, he was admitted to the kk surgical operation institute on February 8, 1839. As a student of Joseph Wattmann von Maëlcamp-Beaulieu , he obtained his doctorate in medicine and obstetrics on December 10, 1839. In 1839/40 he attended Franz Schuh's surgical department , Anton von Rosas's ophthalmological classes and the daily ordinations at what was later to become the Lower Austrian insane asylum on Brünnlfeld . At that time he made friends with Carl Ludwig Sigmund von Ilanor . In 1841 he was made a doctor of surgery and a master's degree in ophthalmology.

Tyrol

Completely trained, he returned to Tyrol in 1842 . His scientific training and his skill in operative surgery were among the greatest rarities there. Therefore, at the end of April 1841, he was appointed general practitioner at the insane asylum in Hall, which later became the State Hospital Hall . Here he was the first in Tyrol to perform ether anesthesia during his operations . In October 1842 he applied in vain for the finished chair of anatomy at the medical and surgical training institute in Innsbruck. That probably moved him to dedicate himself primarily to psychiatry. It should owe his enduring reputation. On study trips through Germany, Belgium and France in 1844, he deepened his knowledge of the infrastructure and care options of insane asylums. His report on the Hôpital de la Salpêtrière and the (private) insane asylums in Ivry-sur-Seine and Bicêtre was only partially published because of the revolution of 1848/1849 in the Austrian Empire . On June 1, 1854, he succeeded the late Johann Tschallener as director of the state insane asylum in Hall. When initial resistance was overcome, he turned the institution into an ultra-modern facility. New buildings were built for Italian patients and children. Stolz looked after the deaf and mute, the poor and those suffering from disease without pay. In 1859 he cared for the wounded in the Sardinian War . In psychiatry he was a staunch supporter of the no restraint . The University of Innsbruck appointed him in 1873 as a supplement for psychiatry. He died of a stroke at the age of 65 .

Descendants

Stolz was married to a daughter of Josef Rapp . The son Michael (1846–1872) graduated from high school in Bozen in the summer of 1865, studied law in Innsbruck from the winter semester of 1865/66 and, like his two brothers, was active in the Corps Rhaetia. As a shooter for the Innsbruck student company from 1866, he took part in the campaign against Italy. As a doctoral lawyer in Ried im Innkreis, he fell ill with pulmonary tuberculosis, to which he succumbed at the age of 26 in his birthplace and parents' home. The older brother was the mathematician Otto Stolz , the younger the philologist Friedrich Stolz . Both were rectors of the University of Innsbruck.
