In the Middle Ages, Jewish doctors were apparently prized as practitioners, though they had no access to formal education or qualifications. How do we account for this?
Hermaphrodites played a large role in Renaissance medical thinking: why?
Gout was a "fashionable" disease in the 18th century: why? what did this signify?
A high percentage of English physicians, particularly in the 18th century, were Quakers. Why was this so? Did the religious beliefs and practices of Friends have any impact on their medical ideas and practices?
The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw an eruption of anxiety about the medical and moral effects of masturbation: why?
Why did homeopathy become so influential in the 19th century (in Germany, or England, or America...).
Anti-alcohol movements, medicine and social reform went hand in hand in the 19th century, especially in England and America: why?
How widespread was the use of coca and cocaine in late 19th c. Europe and/or America? was it a "drug problem"?
How and why did Jews flourish (or languish) in the medical profession (focus on a particular place, e.g. Germany, the USA, France...).
What as the contemporary impact of the trials of the Nazi doctors at Nuremberg?
For a while in the 20th century, homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder. How did this happen, and why was the classification dropped?
The (medicalized) sex manual is not exactly a 20th century invention, but it did assume a particular 20th century form. Who wrote, read, and marketed sex advice? what kind of advice was retailed?
(This could be a good excuse to cite my 1970s edition of the Joy of Gay Sex.)
