Some reading fitting for today: journal.equinoxpub.com/BAR/article/.... "The testimonies of midwives in these cases served less as a patriarchal means of weaponizing women’s own bodies against them, & more as tools for converting women’s personal distresses & hopes into actionable legal petitions."

@drlindseyfitz.bsky.social Today, clinical trials are an essential part of medical research. The first controlled clinical trial was carried out in 1747 to test treatments for scurvy, may have drawn inspiration from the nephew of Sir Isaac Newton’s laboratory assistant, according to new research.

The design for a medical study in 1743 that was never carried out may have inspired James Lind’s groundbreaking clinical trial that determined the treatment for scurvy.
