Morell Mackenzie
Sir Morell Mackenzie (born July 7, 1837 in Leytonstone , Essex , † February 3, 1892 in London ) was an English physician and laryngologist.
Life
Mackenzie studied medicine at the London Hospital Medical College and went on study trips to Paris, Vienna and Pest , where he got to know Johann Nepomuk Czermak better. Mackenzie received his doctorate in London in 1862. He founded a throat hospital in 1863 and received an award from the Royal College of Surgeons that same year for a thesis on larynx disease .
Soon after, he became an intern at the Royal London Hospital , then a doctor and lecturer in laryngeal diseases. He gained a great reputation as an experienced diagnostician and skilled surgeon and published many works on his specialty and as the main work: Manual of diseases of the throat and nose (London 1880–84, 2 vols .; German with the participation of the author. And with numerous additions vers. by Felix Semon as The diseases of the throat and nose , Berlin 1880–84, 2 vols.). In 1887 Mackenzie treated the larynx disease of the German Crown Prince, who later became Emperor Frederick III. His diagnosis of a benign tumor, which later turned out to be cancer of the larynx, delayed treatment of the disease from which Friedrich died in 1888, according to German doctors. Kaiser Wilhelm II. Commented: " The course of the insidious illness that wiped out Emperor Friedrich III had been foretold quite openly by German doctors who were consulted as experts by Sir Morell Mackenzie, the English doctor."
