About this work
Description
The second and third in a seven-part series which dramatises the life and work of Paracelsus (1493-1541) whose medical teaches and practises outraged the 15th century establishment, but are now thought to be forerunners to today's medicine and even to medicine to come. Part 2 follows Paracelsus as he travels to Strassburg and confronts his rival, Dr. Hock. Part 3 sees Paracelsus in the role of City Physician where he begins his crusade against everything that is bad in medicine.
