On a historical note: the legacy of Thomas Hodgkin.
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.
