Otto Dornblüth
Otto Dornblüth (born March 19, 1860 in Rostock , † December 29, 1922 in Wiesbaden , full name Otto Wilhelm Albert Julius Dornblüth ) was a German doctor and the founder and editor of a medical dictionary . The clinical dictionary became known as the Pschyrembel under the name of the long-time later editor Willibald Pschyrembel (19th to 254th edition) .
Life
Otto Dornblüth's father Friedrich Dornblüth and grandfather Ludwig Dornblüth were also doctors. From Easter 1879 he studied human medicine at the universities of Rostock, Tübingen, Munich and from October 1881 again in Rostock.
After completing his studies and a time as an assistant physician at the Rostock Medical and Munich Psychiatric Clinic, he became head of a nursing home in the province of Silesia in what was then Freiburg, Silesia, in 1886 . In 1894 he published the 148-page dictionary of clinical art terms. His idea was to summarize the most common medical foreign and technical terms in a dictionary with brief information on the derivation and meaning of the words. In particular, those words should be taken into account that are not or at least not recorded in their medical meaning in the current reference works. The dictionary was not a comprehensive medical dictionary, but was limited to terms used in medical and clinical practice. It soon gained some popularity. In 1901 the work appeared under the title Clinical Dictionary (subtitle: Die Kunstauspresse der Medizin ) in the second edition, later with the title addition with clinical syndromes . The work he founded is still called the clinical dictionary today.
