Assault and battery, or legitimate treatment?

In response to cases of high-handed medical interventions and treatments, a debate on the legal justification of operations and the relevance of patients' consent developed among German-speaking jurists in the 1890s. The view that surgery was objectively physical injury or battery, which went merely unpunished through the patient's consent, was highly contested among legal experts and firmly rejected by doctors. Various proposals to justify indicated medical treatment without consent were discussed. German jurisdiction, however, endorsed the battery theory of medical interventions and thus prepared the way for the concept of informed consent in medicine.

[The way from medical to physiological chemistry at the University of Göttingen, 1840-1940].

In the nineteenth century chemistry was separated from medicine and reorganized as a "pure" academic science. Those left-over parts of chemistry that were more oriented towards medical application formed the nucleus of modern physiological chemistry, but could usually only exist in connection with other subjects. Especially the combination with physiology proved to be stable. Discipline building was delayed by the fact that a lot of physiologists resented a separation from physiology. Also in Göttingen physiological chemistry was attributed to the Physiological Institute, but initially still had close connections with the General chemical Laboratory. At the end of the nineteenth century a first attempt to establish itself as a discipline together with hygiene failed. Physiological chemistry stayed a part of physiology until 1939 when the Institute of Physiological Chemistry was finally founded. The Göttingen way is characteristic for the general establishment of the discipline in Germany.
