Edmund Rose
Edmund Rose (October 10, 1836 - May 31, 1914) was a German surgeon who was a native of Berlin.
He studied medicine in Berlin and Würzburg and subsequently was an assistant to surgeon Robert Ferdinand Wilms (1824-1880) in Berlin from 1860 until 1864. From 1867 to 1881 he was a professor of surgery at the University Hospital of Zurich, and afterwards a professor at the Bethanien Hospital in Berlin (1881-1903). Among his assistants at Zurich was surgeon Rudolf Ulrich Krönlein (1847-1910).
Edmund Rose is remembered for his research of color blindness, xanthopsia[1] and the drug Santonin, and how Santonin affected color vision. In surgical medicine he performed important pathophysiological studies of cardiac tamponade (Herztamponade), a term he coined in an 1884 treatise.[2]
He was the son of mineralogist Gustav Rose (1798-1873), and a nephew to famed mineralogist Heinrich Rose (1795-1864). His great-grandfather was pharmacologist Valentin Rose the Elder (1736-1771), and his grandfather was Valentin Rose the Younger (1762-1807), who was also a noted pharmacologist. His elder brother was the classicist and textual critic Valentin Rose.
