[Dirk Klinkert, editor-in-chief of the Dutch Journal of Medicine January 1947-July 1947].
Dirk Klinkert (1882-1947) was a general practitioner in Rotterdam. From 1930 onwards he edited a series of books for general practitioners called Aanwinsten op diagnostisch en therapeutisch gebied [Improvements in the realm ofdiagnostics and therapeutics]. Shortly after he was appointed editor-in-chief of the Nederlandsch Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Dutch Journal of Medicine) in 1947 at the age of 65, he proved to be terminally ill. He died 6 months later and remains the shortest-reigning editor-in-chief in the history of the Journal to date.
