Is there a doctor in the house?

[rolanni]

I'm looking for information on how a Regency-period doctor might describe/diagnose a stroke.

All assistance greatly appreciated.

Couple of thoughts - not much help, I'm afraid.

First, googling "regency period medical information" turned up a British publication about Regency times http://www.amazon.co.uk/Georgette-Heyers-Regency-Jennifer-Kloester/dp/0434013293

The first review there is by Anne Woodley of the Janeites, who seems to be a Regency fan - and there is a Jane Austen center over here http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~awoodley/janeites.html which might be helpful?

Might post this somewhere on Baen's Bar, since I know there are Heyer fans over there and historians?
