INDIVIDUAL PRACTITIONER

Darwin, Charles (Mr)
Medical student
(1758 - 1778)
Darwin attended school in Lichfield, and in 1775 was matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford. Within a year, he chose to leave Oxford for the University of Edinburgh, where he befriended Andrew Duncan, then a clinical teacher. In 1778 he submitted a dissertation on the distinctions between mucus and pus to the Aesculapian Society, founded in 1773 by Duncan, which won him the society's first annual gold medal. He prepared a thesis on 'Retrograde Motions of the Lymphatic Vessels in Some Diseases', but died before graduating due to an injury gained during a dissection. His father published Darwin’s work in 1780, entitled ‘Experiments establishing a criterion between mucaginous and purulent matter. And an account of the retrograde motions of the absorbent vessels of animal bodies in some diseases’. An unpublished manuscript entitled ‘What are the established varieties of the pulse, their causes & use in medicine’ may also have been written by Darwin.
