[Urological diseases in a "general practice" in the 17th and early 18th centuries].

Of national medicohistorical importance was the town physician Johannes Franc (1649-1725). His diary written in Latin gives - among other diseases - an overview of urological diseases affecting citizens in Ulm around 1700. It also allows a look into the "workshop" of a scholar who studied contemporary medicine in comprehensive manner. Franc's case reports illustrate a fundamental change in the perception of the patient at the end of the 17th/beginning of the 18th century.
