title: [Hendrik Burger, editor-in-chief of the Dutch Journal of Medicine 1904- 1913].
abstract: Hendrik Burger (1864-1957) became the sixth editor-in-chief of the Journal before gaining international fame as a professor of otorhinolaryngology. He was more a teacher than researcher, and his clinic in Amsterdam became an internationally renowned training centre. He advocated better public healthcare for children who were deaf/mute or had impaired hearing and founded schools for these children. A prolific writer, Burger contributed more than 400 papers to the Journal.
