Clemens Maria Franz von Bönninghausen practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Clemens Maria Franz von Bönninghausen as Physician, botanist and pioneer in the field of the homeopathy (1785-1864).
Clemens Maria Franz von Bönninghausen was born at Fleringen in 1785. His recorded nationality is Netherlands. He trained at University of Groningen.
Hospitals became teaching institutions in this period, and clinical observation began to be recorded systematically.
The recorded fields of work are botany.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
Recognition followed: Legion of Honour.
That the work was done from Netherlands matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Clemens Maria Franz von Bönninghausen died in 1864, aged 79. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
