| 545 | |a Lawrence Francis Flick was born 10 August 1856 in Cambria County, near present day Carrolltown, Pennsylvania, to German immigrants John Flick and Elizabeth Sharbaugh. He was educated at St. Vincent's College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and at Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, graduating in 1879. He became a physician, pathologist, and specialist in tuberculosis and its prevention and treatment. Suffering himself from pulmonary tuberculosis, his studies prompted him to argue that the disease was contagious and not hereditary. His efforts to isolate consumptives in special hospitals and to register tuberculosis cases was controversial and opposed by many within the medical profession. | ||
