	Hermann Boerhaave - LoveToKnow 1911
		HERMANN BOERHAAVE (1668-1738), Dutch physician and man of science, was born at Voorhout near Leiden on the 31st of December 1668.
		Entering the university of Leiden he took his degree in philosophy in 1689, with a dissertation De distinctione mentis a corpore, in which he attacked the doctrines of Epicurus, Hobbes and Spinoza.
		His reputation was not confined to Europe; a Chinese mandarin wrote him a letter directed "To the illustrious Boerhaave, physician in Europe," and it reached him in due course.

	Herman Boerhaave, by Samuel Johnson
		As Boerhaave was sitting in a common boat, there arose a conversation among the passengers, upon the impious and pernicious doctrine of Spinosa, which, as they all agreed, tends to the utter overthrow of all religion.
		Boerhaave had now for nine years read physical lectures, but without the title or dignity of a professor, when by the death of professor Hotten, the professorship of physick and botany fell to him of course.
		The skill to which Boerhaave attained, by a long and unwearied observation of nature, ought, therefore, to be transmitted, in all its particulars, to future ages, that his successors may be ashamed to fall below him, and that none may hereafter excuse his ignorance, by pleading the impossibility of clearer knowledge.

	What is the frequency of atypical presentations of Boerhaave's syndrome?
		This classic presentation and catastrophic course of spontaneous esophageal perforation is that described by Hermann Boerhaave in 1724 [1, 2], and the characteristic symptoms of vomiting, chest pain, and surgical emphysema were emphasized by Mackler [3] in 1950 (Table I).
		When such a clinical picture consistent with spontaneous esophageal perforation is present, it may be sufficiently informative for the diagnosis to be made over the telephone by an astute consultant [4].
		Complete disruption of the esophagus with gross pleural contamination such as was found in Boerhaave's original case is very rare [8], and represents one extreme of spontaneous esophageal perforation, with very small perforations confined to the mediastinum at the other extreme.
