Abstract

Res Medica was to be scrapped at the last revision of the RMS laws. Yet despite its nonexistence for many years the suggestion to end it was met with a bizarre unease. Almost like ‘pulling the plug on a pal on life support’. A number of articles were written for a celebration copy to be printed for the 250th anniversary in 1987. Insufficient funding hampered its early resurrection and the journal of the Royal Medical Society slumbered on.
