| 520 | _a"The Gold-Headed Cane" by William Macmichael is a medical biography written in the early 19th century. This work relays the historical significance of the titular cane, which has been passed down through notable physicians, starting with Dr. John Radcliffe. Through a narrative framed as the cane’s autobiography, it recounts the lives, practices, and contributions of various eminent doctors, including Radcliffe and Dr. Mead, thereby offering a glimpse into the evolution of contemporary medical practices and the personalities that shaped them. At the start of the book, the cane reflects on its new resting place in the Library of the College of Physicians, where it laments its transition from a significant role in medical practice to a mere artifact. The opening chapter introduces Dr. Radcliffe, its first possessor, detailing his interactions with patients, particularly King William III, and illustrating the blend of empirical practice and the societal customs of the late 17th century. Through these recountings, readers gain insights into not only the medical knowledge of the period but also the personal traits and experiences of the physicians, setting the tone for a rich narrative about the characters and their contributions to medicine.
