This book looks at the medical history of the German Emperor Friedrich
III (1831-1888) from the point of view of an ENT-doctor. Especially in
the German speaking literature the Englishman Sir Morell Mackenzie is
given the guilt of the early death of the monarch. But with knowledge of
the original reports of the involved docrors results a more different
picture. It must be clearly stated that the medical history presents
itself as a sequence of treatment errors, misdiagnoses and trench
warfare among the treating physicians.
