Abstract


After a hiatus of several years Res Medica is back. It will be an occasional publication with perhaps two issues a year. Our aim is to publish a journal with a wide range of articles, from the historical to the philosophical, from the political to the scientific and from the lighthearted to the polemical. In other words it will attempt to appeal to the heterogenous membership of the Royal Medical Society — and to others — to the ingenuous freshman, the cynical final phase student (although perhaps today the adjectives should be transposed), the overworked houseman and the eminent practitioner.

In this issue we have contributions from prominent figures in Edinburgh Medicine and from junior members of the Society. These latter show that the flame of scientific enquiry which made the reputation of the Society burns on still, even if at times it has appeared to gutter.
