Casebooks Therapy — where experts and enthusiasts gather to discuss hard to read, often tragic, sometimes life-affirming medical records that aren't even #medieval — will take place on Weds, 25 Feb, 3pm Florence time. Always online, never dull. DM or email @laurenkassell.bsky.social for the link.

This, from the @hpscasebooks.bsky.social bio of Simon Forman, is sending me:

'Simon Forman numbers amongst the best documented Elizabethans, not because he exercised power or changed the course of history, but because he wrote about himself, in tireless, vivid, mundane detail'.

This Wednesday (28 Jan) we are back again reading Forman and Napier. Dm if you’d like to join! @laurenkassell.bsky.social @hpscasebooks.bsky.social #skystorians #casebooks
