John Keats and tuberculosis. 2001

M Radetsky

Department of Pediatrics, Lovelace Medical Center, Albuquerque, NM, USA.

John Keats was trained as an apothecary, the general practitioner of the day. Precocious in his sensibilities and fluent in his imagery, he also was the model of the romantic poet. That he was a physician and a poet makes his early death from tuberculosis poignant and revealing. This history traces his life and death against the backdrop of medicine at the turn of the 19th century.
