The Orange County Register and Coast Magazine, in partnership with Orange County Medical Association, honored Orange County’s top physicians by presenting the 2015 OCMA Physicians of Excellence Awards on Thursday April 22nd.
The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) is a registered charity that aims to ensure high-quality care for patients by promoting the highest standards of medical practice. It was founded in 1518 by a charter from Henry VIII. Its present grade I-listed building was designed by Sir Denys Lasdun in 1964 and is an award-winning museum and venue.
The RCP's garden of medicinal plants is now in its tenth year since replanting. It extends from the North American medicinal plant beds at the front to the eight box parterres in St Andrews Place containing plants used in medicines, as described in the College's Pharmacopoeia Londinensis of 1618 and immortalised in Culpeper's Herbal.
Around the lawns to the rear of the RCP there are rare medicinal plants from ancient Greece and Rome, Europe, the Middle East, the countries of the southern hemisphere and Asia.
The graceful plane tree in the lawn, a descendant of the tree under which Hippocrates taught his medical students on the island of Cos 2,400 years ago, reminds us of our long heritage of plants associated with medicine.

Me talking about retiring to Palm Springs in 10 days -- time for a radical change from working in Seattle.
The German humanist and physician Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) was born and died in Nuremberg. He studied Medicine in Padua and other subjects in various European cities. While in Italy, he wrote a general description of the country’s antiquities. After returning to Germany, he became treasurer to the Episcopal See and cathedral of Saint-Sébald. Schedel possessed a very large library, of three hundred and seventy manuscripts and six hundred printed books, which included works on grammar, logic, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, history and theology.
With the help of a team of collaborators, Schedel compiled a landmark work in the history of books, both in its scope and in the quality of the final outcome. The "Chronicle" belongs in the category of illustrated histories of the world, a tradition that began in the Middle Ages. Without exception, these histories begin with the Creation and reach until the age when the book was written, in this case until 1490.
The first such attempt to record the history of the world was the "Chronikon" by Eusebius of Cesarea, in AD 300, which narrates the history of the Church, together with popular traditions, ancient and contemporary events, mixed with myths and legends. Schedel’s "Chronicle" commemorates eminent personalities and includes portraits of kings, priests (Jewish and Christian), philosophers and scholars. The history of the world is divided into six periods: 1) from the Creation of the World to the Flood, 2) from the Flood to the birth of Abraham 3) events that followed until the birth of David 4) from the reign of David to the conquest of Babylon 5) the events that followed until the birth of Christ 6) from the birth of Christ to 1490. The work closes with a text on the Second Coming and the description of the history, economy and culture of various cities. Schedel wrote the text and supervised the edition. The wood engravings are the work of Michael Wohlgemuth, painter and engraver, teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his son-in-law, also an engraver, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. It was published by the famous publisher Anton Koberger, who from 1489 onwards directed thirty-nine printshops with about one hundred employees. The work circulated in two editions (one in Latin and one in German), in a total of one thousand five hundred copies.
This first, extremely rare edition, consists of three hundred and twenty-five numbered folios, with Latin text in Gothic characters, and one thousand eight hundred and nine wood engravings (most of which, one thousand one hundred and sixty-four, are repeated). They mainly depict cities in Central and Southeast Europe, and rulers from these.
Known as the "Nürnberg Chronicle", this ambitious historical and geographical work, a product of the city in which flourished the theory and practice of scientific geography, as well as the art and craft of engraving, in the era of J. Van Eyck and A. Dürer, was a huge success, notwithstanding its high price. It was reprinted three times in the following ten years. In accordance with the spirit of the age, the images tend to be signifiers of place, in which snippets of verisimilitude are intermingled with purely imaginary elements. The same is true of the text, which includes passages from historical sources and a host of information presented without logical sequence and order. Twelve plates represent Athens, Corinth, Rhodes, Lacedaemon (Sparta), Troy, Alexandria, Achaea, Macedonia, Thrace, Athens, and two views of Constantinople.

Alman asıllı hümanist ve doktor Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) Nürenberg'de doğar ve aynı yerde ölür. Avrupa'nın birçok kentinde ve Padova'da tıp okur. İtalya'nın arkeolojik anıtları hakkında genel bir betimleme kaleme alır ve Almanya'ya döndükten sonra Saint-Sébald katedralinin piskoposluğunda veznedar görevinde bulunur. Çok zengin bir kütüphane sahibiydi. Kütüphanesi 370 tane elyazması ve 670 tane basılı eserden oluşmaktaydı. Bunlar dilbilgisi, mantık, matematik, gökbilim, felsefe, tıp, tarih ve tanrıbilimle ilgili kitaplardı.
Schedel, bilimadamlarından oluşan araştırma grubuyla birlikte kitap tarihinde bir kilometre taşı teşkil edecek olan bir yapıt hazırlar. Hem olağanüstü boyutu hem niteliği açısından çok önemli bir yapıt olan Vakayiname dünya tarihinin resimli anlatıları kategorisine girip Ortaçağ'dan beri süregelen bir geleneğin içinde yer alır. Yaratılış devrinden yazıldığı zamana dek, (sözkonusu kitap 1490 tarihine dek), dünya tarihini içermektedir. Böyle bir anlayışla yazılan ilk kitap MS 300 yılında Kayserili Eusebios (Eusebius Pamphili) tarafından kaleme alınan Vakayiname sayılır. Eusebios bu yapıtında Hristiyan Kilisesi tarihini, hikâyeler, eski devirlerden ve yaşadığı dönemden olaylar ve söylencelerden bir karışım yaparak anlatır. Schedel'in Vakayinamesinde önemli kişiler, krallar, Yahudî ve Hristiyan rahipler gibi çeşitli filozof ve yazarlar da resmedilir. Dünya Tarihi bu şekilde 6 devre ayrılır: 1) Dünyanın yaratılışından Nuh tufanına kadar, 2) Tufandan Hazreti İbrahim'in doğuşuna kadar, 3) Davut'un doğuşuna kadar yer alan olaylar, 4) Babil kuşatmasına kadar Davut'un krallık devri, 5) İsa'nın doğuşuna kadar yer alan olaylar, ve son olarak 6) 1490 yılına dek tarih olayları. Eser Mahşer Günü ile ilgili bir yazı ve çeşitli şehirlerin tarihî, ekonomik, kültürel betimlemeleri ile kapanır.
Kitabın yayına hazırlanışını H. Schedel yapar, gravürlerin çizimi ve basımını ressam ve gravürcü (ayrıca Albrecht Dürer'in öğretmeni) Michael Wohlgemuth ile Schedel'in damadı gravürcü Wilhelm Pleydenwurff yapar, yayını ise ünlü yayıncı Anton Koberger üstlenir. Koberger 1489 yılından beri 100 kişinin çalıştığı 39 ayrı matbaa yöneten bir matbaacıdır. Schedel'in yapıtı latince ve almanca olmak üzere her biri 1.500 adet kitap basan iki ayrı baskıda yayınlanır. Çok nadir bir kitap olan bu ilk baskı 325 adet numaralanmış yaprakta gotik harflerle latince metni ve Orta Avrupa ile Güneydoğu Avrupa ülkelerini ve hükümdarlarını gösteren 1.809 tahta gravür (1.164 tanesi tekrarlanmakta) içermektedir. Bu ilham dolu tarih ve coğrafya eseri, coğrafya biliminin kuram ve uygulamasının gelişmekte olduğu şehirden dolayı Nürenberg Vakayinamesi olarak bilinir. Nürenberg, coğrafyadan başka J. Van Eyck ve Al. Dürer sayesinde gravür sanatı ve tekniği alanında da çok gelişmiş bir seviyedeydi. Böylece Nürenberg Vakayinamesi yüksek satış fiyatına karşın çok büyük bir başarı kazanır ve ilk baskıyı izleyen on yıl içinde üç kez yeniden basılır.
Kitaptaki resimler düşgücüne dayanan unsurlar içermekle beraber mekânı belirleyen niteliklerini korumakta ve gerçek öğelerle düşgücü ürünü olanlar birbirine karışmaktadır. Aynı şey metin için de geçerli. Metinde yer alan tarihsel kaynak alıntıları aslında olduğu gibi verilirken bilgiler düzensiz ve gelişigüzel bir biçimde sergilenir. Eser Atina, Korint, Rodos, Sparta bölgesi, Truva, İskenderiye, Achaia (Patra yöresi), Makedonya, Trakya, Atina ve İstanbul (iki görünüm) konulu sadece 12 tane gravür içermektedir.

Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center welcome dinner for new
Physicians and Medical Scientists at Omaha Country Club on September 14, 2016
14th century glass in the north aisle of York Minster. Most of the nave aisle windows retain their original 14th century glazing, with each window following a similar layout with six main narrative panels within canopies. Much of the glass however is seriously patched and confused by damage and successive repairs over the centuries.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
