Early Autopsy
The item reports that the early town enrolment of New Amsterdam, as New York was then known, divided its inhabitants into "great citizens" and "small citizens," and that the physicians were listed among the latter.
New York's social register for 1657, in reality the town enrollment for New Amsterdam, as New York then was known, contained the names of 20 "great citizens" and 204 "small citizens" and it was among the latter that the physicians were mentioned. In that same year doctors were called upon to do detective work, since it was requested that they should ask wounded patients how they had received their injuries and by whom. In 1691 Dr. Johannes Kerfbyle, a Hollander, performed an autopsy upon the body of Governor Slaughter, believed to have been poisoned, and this is thought to be the first autopsy performed in this country. - New York Evening Post.
