The record lists Isbrand van Diemerbroeck as physician.

His posts were held at Utrecht University.
The recorded fields of work are medicine.

That the work was done from Netherlands matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Isbrand van Diemerbroeck died in 1674, aged 65. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
