Johann Peter Frank practised at a period when medicine itself was being rebuilt on new foundations.
The record lists Johann Peter Frank as German physician.
Johann Peter Frank was born at Rodalben in 1745. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria. He trained at Heidelberg University and University of Strasbourg.
Hospitals became teaching institutions in this period, and clinical observation began to be recorded systematically.
His posts were held at University of Vienna, University of Göttingen and Vilnius University.
The recorded fields of work are medicine.
Clinical knowledge is accumulated slowly and revised often, usually at some cost.
That the work was done from Kingdom of Bavaria matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Johann Peter Frank died in 1821, aged 76. What survives is the change in practice, which is how a medical life is actually measured.
