Philipp Jacob Piderit

Philipp Jacob Piderit (born August 20, 1753 in Marburg , † May 2, 1817 in Kassel ) was a German physician.

Life

Philipp Jacob Piderit was the second of eight children of the Protestant theologian and university professor Johann Rudolph Anton Piderit and his first wife Margaretha Elisabeth (* unknown; † August 24, 1772), a daughter of the chancellery Johann Christian Scheuffler.

He received his first lessons from his father and in the city school of Marburg. After his admission to the local pedagogy (today: Grammar School Philippinum) in 1760 , he was taught by his uncle Johann Jacob Jäger (1738-1802), who later went to the University of Rinteln , and by Appelius. On December 20, 1765 he was accepted as an academic fellow citizen at the University of Marburg by the then Vice-Rector Christoph Friedrich Geiger (1712–1767), but he left the university again the following year because his father had a call to the Kassel new founded Collegium Carolinum .

In autumn he was enrolled in the Collegium Carolinum by the then dean Justus Heinrich Wetzel (1701–1771). After receiving lessons from his father as well as from Johann Gottlieb Stegmann and Carl Prizier (1726–1781), he initially wanted to study theology. However, when he saw the problems and reproaches his father received, he changed his mind and set out to study medicine and medicinal science. He received at the Collegium Carolinum lessons in botany , medicine , surgery , pathology , eye diseases and childbirth Art by the later Upper Councilor Georg Wilhelm Stein , Johann Jacob Huber (1707-1778), Councilor and personal physician Johannes Ephraim Mutillet, Theodor August Schleger (1727-1772 ), who took him to visit sick people, Konrad Heinrich Brandau (1752–1791) and Christoph Heinrich Böttger (1737–1781).

At the end of 1772 he went to the medical faculty of the University of Marburg to take the usual examinations for obtaining a doctorate. On July 6, 1773 he defended his dissertation and received the Dr. med .; thus he was the first student to attend the Collegium Carolinum without having completed a university degree. In his inaugural dissertation as early as 1773, he dealt with the fact that poisonous medicines that are administered homeopathically can develop healing powers; this method was only later published by Samuel Hahnemann , who presented homeopathy as a medicinal system. On July 10, 1773 he was accepted as an assessor and member of the medical-surgical college of the University of Marburg. Then he returned to Kassel and took up his medical activities.

On January 16, 1784 he became an assistant to the garrison doctor in Kassel, and in 1788 he took over the management of the military hospital. On November 20, 1789, he became a doctor at the reformed orphanage. He was appointed real garrison doctor on June 26, 1791 and was later vice director of the medical school in Kassel. In 1796 he gave up his post as a garrison doctor again. In 1797 he became the personal physician of the Landgrave and later Elector Wilhelm I.
