11 Jan 1922 - Insulin is first used to treat diabetes when Leonard Thompson, a 14 year old boy in hospital in Toronto, is injected. Over the next 12 days, James Bertram Collip, one of the biochemists who isolated insulin, perfects the dosage. #OTD #History #Insulin

We've been so ridiculously sick all week in this house, that I began to wonder whether convalescent homes by the sea were still a thing. I stumbled on @lizzieenfield's Wellcome post here. A lost art indeed. wellcomecollection.org/articles/XXurk…

#OTD in 1846, dentist James Robinson administered ether to 13 y/o Miss Lonsdale for a tooth extraction. The first person to be anaesthetised with ether in Britain 'had not felt the slightest pain, but had been dreaming of the country' during her operation!😇 #histmed #MedTwitter

I've submitted the final revisions of my In/Disciplines #MedicalHumanities #DisabilityStudies book for @BloomsburyAcad. Really pleased with it and looking forward to it moving through production. I love the look of the cover we've chosen as well - scholarly green...

Please help me do my job. Has anyone come across any literature on the history of Children's hospitals? Other than institutional histories of individual hospitals? Ideally in the UK, but not necessarily #NHSHistory #HistMed
