title: On a historical note: the legacy of Thomas Hodgkin.
abstract: Physicians in the practice of insurance medicine are exposed to an unbelievable spectrum of pathology. This series of short biographies is intended to give the reader a quick overview of the history of diseases encountered in our everyday practice and to see "the face behind the name." In the first article of this series, I wish to pay homage to one of the "great men of Guy's," Dr. Thomas Hodgkin.
