Friedrich Benjamin Osiander practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Friedrich Benjamin Osiander as German obstetrician (1759-1822).
Friedrich Benjamin Osiander was born at Zell unter Aichelberg in 1759. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Württemberg. He trained at University of Tübingen.
Hospitals became teaching institutions in this period, and clinical observation began to be recorded systematically.
His posts were held at University of Göttingen.
The recorded fields of work are gynaecology and obstetrics.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Kingdom of Württemberg matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Friedrich Benjamin Osiander died in 1822, aged 63. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
