Den danske medicinalhistorie er farverig og overraskende. I mange århundreder så lægerne ned på kirurgien og lod barbererne tage sig af den side af sundhedsplejen. Også bødlerne fungerede godt som kirurger, da det jo ofte var dem, der havde lemlæstet patienten og derefter kunne behandle skaderne. Den danske læge og medicinalhistoriker Kristian Carøe fortæller om den danske medicinhistorie fra 1600-tallet og op til starten af det 20. århundrede. Udviklingen går langsomt, men i takt med at de værste fejlopfattelser bliver modbevist, og videnskaben gør vigtige opdagelser, begynder lægerne at redde flere liv og ikke behandle folk ihjel. Kristian Carøe (1851-1921) var en dansk læge og medicinhistoriker, der både skrev bøger om medicinhistorie og var medredaktør af bladet "Ugeskrift for Læger". Kristian Carøe er særligt kendt for sit fembindsværk "Den danske lægestand 1479-1900", der består af biografier af alle de læger og kirurger, der virkede i Danmark i denne periode. Få dage før sin død blev Kristian Carøe æret som dr.med. honoris causa ved Københavns Universitet.
Mellem sundhed og sygdom

"For a couple of years in this period, there was a true physician in Præstø as Jens Kofod practised here from 1792 until 1794 when he became a medical officer of health and Præstø had to be content with a surgeon as before.". This quote is taken from one of the principal works of the Danish history of medicine, published in 1873 by physician and medicine historian J V C Ingerslev, and it constitutes the starting point of Birgitte Rørbye's study of how the Danish medical profession of physicians through a couple of centuries have been able to construct an authoritative narrative of themselves as the 'true physicians' of the Danish public health service. By means of a narrative cultural study of writings on the history of medicine and other historical sources, Birgitte Rørbye uncovers the narrative of the 'true physicians' which has resulted in the exclusion of other occupational groups and schemes of things from the official and approved public health system on account of being 'alternative'. What is meant by the term 'true physician'? Is it a valid term with regards to varying times and societies? What was a 'true physician' in the years 1494, 1594, 1694, 1794, 1894, 1994? The answer depends both on the story and on who tells it. Birgitte Rørbye's new and different story caters for physicians, historians, cultural scholars and others interested in the history of medicine.
