Designed to serve as a stimulus for discussion, this film shows the various steps in determining whether a student will be placed in a special education class. Demonstrates the following procedural steps used by school officials to determine whether Fred will be transferred to a special education class: appointing the case conference committee, sharing information, initiation of individual educational plan, placement review, and revised program. Records Fred's parents being told that his cognitive, verbal, and perceptual progress is below normal for his grade level and shows their disapproval for transferring Fred to a special education class.

Lecture delivered by Colin Halverson, PhD (Faculty Investigator, Indiana University Center for Bioethics) and Jane Hartsock, JD, MA (Director of the Department of Clinical and Organizational Ethics, Indiana University Health) on March 1, 2023. While the Ebers Papyrus is famous as one of the oldest and most complete contemporary perspectives on ancient Egyptian healing practices, little has yet been said about the biography of its first English-language translator, Dr. Carl H. von Klein. Von Klein, a German immigrant and surgeon in the American Midwest, and his linguist daughter Edith Zitelmann spent twenty-some years meticulously translating and annotating the papyrus, but the manuscript was ultimately destroyed. In this talk, Hartsock and Halverson examine the convoluted and dramatic history of the Ebers Papyrus and its “rediscovery” by Edwin Smith, and discuss the equally convoluted and dramatic societal- and personal-scale forces that thwarted von Klein and Zitelmann’s efforts to translate it.

Lecture delivered by Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD (Chancellor's Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies, Indiana University) on April 14, 2022. Eugenicists in the United States, building on the scientific breakthroughs of Charles Darwin and others, aimed to protect the human gene pool by preventing so-called “inferior” human beings from reproducing. What they unleashed, however, was a terrible tide of dehumanization and inhumanity, both in Indiana and in Europe. The lessons of their efforts, though difficult to contemplate, must never be forgotten.

Lecture presented by William H. Schneider, PhD (Professor Emeritus, Department of History and Program in Medical Humanities, IUPUI) on February 23, 2022. This talk examines the historical developments that shaped the conduct and regulation of medical research in the United States. Dr. Schneider discusses the ways in which the communication of scientific results have changed, and how those changes ensured the validity of results and prompted efforts to ensure the safety of research participants. He also points to how increased public awareness of and government funding for research contributed to more extensive regulation of research practices. Dr. Schneider also explores how Henry K. Beecher’s 1966 article “Ethics and Clinical Research” exposed research misconduct after the Nuremberg Code and Declaration of Helsinki and led to the creation of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to ensure medical research is conducted ethically.
This lecture is part of the Indiana University Center for Bioethics Translational Research Ethics: Applied Topics (TREATs) seminar series and was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
Lecture presented by Rachel Lance, PhD (Assistant Consulting Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Duke University) on February 10, 2022. This lecture was part of the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute Seminar Series and was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
This talk examines the deaths of the crew members of the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley as a case study of blast trauma injury patterns. The lungs are the most easily injured organs in a blast and often drive the overall risk level of the exposure. Dr. Lance discusses the developing topic of blast neurotrauma and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that so frequently affects today’s veterans. The pulmonary and neurological risk of blast trauma to the crew of the Hunley formed a portion of Lance’s doctoral research on underwater blast trauma, and her experiments on the topic are described in her 2020 book: In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine.
Lecture presented by Steffanie Strathdee, PhD (Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences, Harold Simon Distinguished Professor, University of California San Diego Department of Medicine; Co-Director, Center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics) on November 11, 2021. This lecture was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global health issues of the 21st century and is worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic. With existing antibiotics losing potency and limited classes of antibiotics in the pipeline, alternatives are needed to battle multi-drug resistant bacterial infections ("superbugs"). Through the lens of her family’s personal experience with a deadly superbug infection, Dr. Strathdee’s presentation focuses on the medical history of viruses that attack bacteria (bacteriophage, or phage) and how they have been used to treat superbug infections for over 100 years. Dr. Strathdee also discusses the reasons why bacteriophage therapy fell out of favor in the West (drawing from research conducted by medical historian Dr. William Summer), recent advances in phage therapy that led to the founding of the first dedicated phage therapy institute in North America (IPATH), and the role of her family’s case in the process.
Lecture presented by Ericka Johnson (Professor of Gender and Society, Linköping University, Sweden) on October 27, 2021. This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
The prostate is the source of physical suffering and anxiety – anxiety about cancer and death, of course, but also erections and urination. It is intimately intertwined with what it means to be a man. Drawing on historical and modern sources, interviews with doctors and patients, medical texts, and cultural images of the prostate, Dr. Johnson's talk examines the history of prostate treatments, how it is treated today, what patients are met by when they seek care, and what medical technologies (including the PSA test) do to men worried about their prostate health. Her research stems from an interdisciplinary, medical humanities project conducted at Linköping University, Sweden.
Lecture delivered by Jamel Hill (4th Year Student, IU School of Medicine) on April 30, 2021. This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
It has been well documented that the number of Black Male Physicians has been declining since the 1970s. Few novel solutions to this societal problem have mitigated its effects on increasing the number of Black Male Physicians and improving healthcare disparities for black communities. This talk serves to illustrate those historical figures who had to endure nearly insufferable conditions to become physicians in Indianapolis, Indiana during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Dr. Joseph Ward (1872-1956), Dr. Sumner Furniss (1874-1953) and Dr. Clarence Lucas Sr. (1884-1967) were all vital in laying the foundation for a once thriving black community. In addition to these great men, it also took a lot of support and collaboration to build the facilities that they were forced to provide care in due to systemic racism and segregation. These often-forgotten heroes and hospitals can serve as heroes and inspiration for future aspiring physicians.
