In this episode of the Purple Cloud Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Lorraine Wilcox to explore her new translation Medical Cases from the Flower Charm Studio. The work documents the clinical cases of Gu Dehua, a female physician from Ming-Qing China. We talk about Gu Dehua's life, the other female doctors Lorraine has translated, and what it meant to be a woman, as both doctor and patient, in classical China. Lorraine holds a PhD in classical Chinese medicine and has translated and authored numerous works on acupuncture, moxibustion, and classical medicine. A fascinating conversation at the crossroads of history, gender, and medicine. Medical Cases from the Flower Charm Studio is available now from Purple Cloud Press.
