The various massage therapies are in use all over the world. Although the origin of these methods were established in ancient cultures, the medical profession started to explore scientifically these methods only during the 19th century. Professor Isidor [Israel] Zabludowski (1850-1925?) was one of those pioneers who had established a special massage-clinic at the Charite' Hospital in Berlin. His clinical and scientific accomplishments, eventually introduced these methods into modern physiotherapy, are almost totally ignored in the official history of medicine textbooks. Apparently, it should be asked, is the massage therapy a scientific modality at all? And should we always adopt or adhere to evidence-based, double-blind-randomly approved treatments ?

Basic books on medical eponyms, history of medicine or medical dictionaries, describe usually the historical contribution of scientists and physicians. It is impossible to ignore the role of patients in some medical discoveries. Some diseases have been named after the person who first described the condition. Sometimes diseases are named after a place (Bornholm disease, Lyme disease, Ebola hemorrhagic fever) and even societies (Legionnaires' disease). Rarely a disease was named after a patient. In this short article I describe my collection of a few relatively unknown medical stories and the patients behind them.

Paracelsus said that : "Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided." The meeting points of music and medicine, both art and science, are many: the stories of physicians who became musicians; diseases or infirmaries of famous composers; musical use while performing medical, surgical or psychological procedures; and music as a mean of therapy. Along history, many physicians were deeply involved in music: medical practitioners may well improve their everyday skills of the patients-physicians interrelationship, being more humane, more patient to their clients and much more happier.

A distinction is drawn between impostors or charlatans, and unorthodox but professional healers. The lessons drawn to suggest that some treatments considered unacceptable in the past have sometimes proved their efficacy over time, and should not always be dismissed out of hand.

The one who described this phenomenon thoroughly and who has been almost totally absent in history-of-medicine textbooks, is the French - Dutch physician, Joseph Romain Louis Kerckhoffs (or Kerckhove) (1789 - 1867).
