Charles Foix (1882-1927) may be mostly remembered today due to his contributions to vascular neurology and the syndromes that bear his name, such as the Foix-Alajouanine syndrome. However, he also developed a literary career and composed poetry and a vast collection of plays, often dealing with biblical themes or figures from Greek mythology.
His poetry was often inspired by his own experiences during the First World War, in which he was assigned to serve as a medical officer in Greece, becoming enamored with his surroundings and the classical lore.
The authors explore Foix's poetry and drama and their relationship to his overall work as a neurologist, including his wartime experiences.
查尔斯·福伊克斯(Charles Foix,1882-1927 年)今天之所以被人们铭记,主要是因为他对血管神经病学的贡献以及以他的名字命名的综合征,例如福伊克斯-阿拉焦乌纳尼综合征。然而,他也发展了文学事业,创作了诗歌和大量戏剧,这些作品常常涉及圣经主题或希腊神话人物。
他的诗歌常常受到第一次世界大战期间经历的启发,他在战争期间被派往希腊担任军医,对周围环境和古典文学产生了浓厚的兴趣。
作者探讨了福伊克斯的诗歌和戏剧,以及它们与他作为神经科医生的整体工作的关系,包括他的战时经历。
