A Glimpse Of The Past Through The Gastroenterology Collection - Hippocrates, the "Father of Medicine," who studied the workings of the human body in about 400 B.C., was convinced of the importance of the brain, nervous system, and the circulatory system. In more modern times Dr. Andrew Taylor Still wrote a book, "Philosophy of Osteopathy," in which he described the 3 principles underlying a healthy body. The third principal in particular is; "The functioning of all body organs and systems depend on the integrating forces of the nervous and circulatory systems." The body is kept in a healthy balance only when all systems are functioning together. As is the case with all parts and organs of the body, the digestive tract depends constantly on the circulatory system. The specialty of gastroenterology, with its emphasis on the digestive tract, most often makes use of colonoscopy, endoscopy, and other state-of-the-art technologies for the detection and treatment of disease. The modern miracle of computer technology has made possible exciting treatment and diagnostic tools. It seems a constant stream of novel and effective procedures are being reported in the related medical journals.

William & Charles Mayo joined their father at St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, MN, and while building a cooperative group clinic made up of many specialties, including gastroenterology, founded the Mayo Clinic in 1905, and later the Graduate School of Medicine in 1915.
