Neither Physicians Nor Surgeons: Whither Neuropathological Skill in Post-war England?

"I thank Nick Hopwood, Thomas Schlich, Nick Whitfield, Jim Connor, the participants at the ‘History of Skill in Science and Medicine’ workshop at McGill University, and Leon Rocha for commenting on earlier drafts; the three anonymous reviewers; Paul Weindling for remarks on émigré neuropathologists in Britain; Tilli Tansey and Caroline Overy for sharing their research on contemporary brain banking in Britain. A Gates Cambridge Trust doctoral scholarship and doctoral funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council supported my research and writing up. 30.: Ström-Olsen, op. cit. (note 29), 809; idem cited in J.M. Tanner, Prospects in Psychiatric Research: The Proceedings of the Oxford Conference of the Mental Health Research Fund (Oxford: Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1953); A.H.G., ‘R Strom-Olsen’, BMJ, 293, 6559 (1986), 1447. 84.: ‘Too Few Neuropathologists’, op. cit. (note 81). The gendering of ‘the’ neuropathologist obscures the number of women in senior posts in the late 1960s including, but not limited to, Marion Smith, F. Dawn Bosanquet, Betty Brownell, Wendy Grant, Elisabeth Beck. Dorothy Russell had retired in 1960. A study of gender, and gendering, in twentieth-century pathology, and neuropathology, would be very fruitful."
