  Toxicology - Poison and Its...

  Toxicology, the study of poisons and their effects on living organisms, has deep historical roots dating back thousands of years. The earliest civilizations recognized the dangers of certain substances and documented their effects, often intertwining them with myths, medicine, and warfare. The origins of toxicology can be traced to ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome, where early scholars and physicians laid the groundwork for what would eventually become a scientific discipline. 
  Ancient Egyptian texts, such as the Ebers Papyrus (circa 1550 BCE), contain some of the earliest references to poisons, including plant-based toxins and venomous animal bites. Egyptian priests and physicians were aware of toxic substances, both as medicinal agents and as potential means of assassination. Similarly, Mesopotamian records describe the use of poisons in both healing practices and criminal activities. 
  In ancient Greece, the philosopher and physician Hippocrates (circa 460–370 BCE) discussed the effects of poisons and the importance of dosage in determining whether a substance was harmful or beneficial. His work influenced later Greek and Roman physicians, including Dioscorides, a first-century CE pharmacologist who compiled De Materia Medica, an extensive guide to medicinal and poisonous substances derived from plants, animals, and minerals. The Greek philosopher Theophrastus (circa 371–287 BCE) also contributed to early toxicology by documenting the properties of various poisonous plants.

  The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

  Ross A. Slotten MD

  In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
   
  Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.
