The founders of WOSANZ have been creating specialised historical biographical video tributes for the anniversaries of various medical and scientific personalities for many years. A number of these videos have been featured at national and international conferences and are all available for free viewing online via the YouTube channel limewaveZ (founded by Z.Toodayan around the year 2007). A selection of relevant historical medical videos are shared below.
Sir William Osler (1849-1919): The Father of Modern Medicine
A slightly improved version of our William Osler video which was originally uploaded on August 1st 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djshP-Lp4f0 (2872 views at this moment). "In the continual remembrance of a glorious past individuals and nations find their noblest inspiration" - Sir William Osler, The Leaven of Science, Philadelphia, May 21st 1894.
Sir Victor Horsley (1857-1916): A Heart of Gold
Sir Victor Alexander Haden Horsley (1857-1916), the pioneering British neurological surgeon, passed away 100 years ago - on 16th July 2016. He died young in his 60th year from the effects of heat stroke whilst serving as consulting military surgeon to the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Amarah, modern day Iraq, and was buried in the now largely abandoned 'Amara War Cemetery'.
Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915): A Century in Eternity
Paul Ehrlich (March 14th 1854 - August 20th 1915): A Century in Eternity Seldom is it in science that we are met with an individual whose sole contributions so vastly broaden the horizon of human understanding. Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915), an outstanding German physician and researcher of the late 19th century, was one such personality.
Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915): Lest We Forget
Professor Alois Alzheimer (14th June 1864 - 19th December 1915), the great German physician-psychiatrist whose name is synonymous with senile dementia (viz. Alzheimer's disease), passed away precisely a century ago. This video chronicles his memorable life and important achievements, and hopes to make more widely appreciable, the distinguished legacy of this early pioneer in neuropathology.
Sir William Richard Gowers (1845-1915): A Century of Inspiration
Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564): 500 Years Young
Join us in commemorating the life and works of Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), a man who almost single-handedly laid down the foundations for modern anatomical study. Born into a family of imperial physicians in Brussels 500 years ago (December 31st 1514), Vesalius decided to embark on a medical career in his early youth.
