Library and academic people...

...do any of you have access to this article?

A Sixteenth-century Physician and His Patients: The Practice Journal of Hiob Finzel, 1565–1589
Michael Stolberg
Social History of Medicine, Volume 32, Issue 2, May 2019, Pages 221–240

I believe it’s under embargo right now, so our library can’t get it because we don’t subscribe to the paper journal.

Funny story, I have a friend who works in an academic medical library. If she can get it for me, I will send it on to you. But it might take a bit of time, IDK how fast their ILL system works while we're under this whole pandemic and they just switched search systems too, so. Fuck COVID.

Now that I know this exists, I kind of want it for myself, so I'm glad you posted about it.

Thank you! Yeah. ILL is all kinds of wack right now. I’ve got a book that was due back at the beginning of May, but obviously can’t return.

BTW if you find the author’s university faculty page, this sort of thing is his specialty, and he’s got a ton of articles listed in the general field of early modern medical practice. He was a physician before he got his Ph.D in history!

Looks like you found a copy, but in my experience, if you email the author of an article and are like, "hi, I would like a copy of your article for [legit research reasons] but my library doesn't have access to it, could you send me a copy?" unless the article is under embargo for EVERYONE due to where it is in the publication process, they're usually happy to send it to you.

Yeah, but (a) serious social anxiety and (b) said research is “I am an unpublished author writing fantasy in a world loosely based on early modern Europe, can I have your paper because one of my characters needs to visit a doctor?”
