Lecture tickets for John Redman Coxe, M.D.

 

John Redman Coxe, petulant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was born in Trenton, NJ, and was raised by his physician grandfather, the distinguished John Redman of Philadelphia.¹ After attending lower school in London, young Coxe finished his classical studies in Edinburgh, where he attended hospitals and studied botany and natural history during the summer. In 1789, he returned to London and completed courses in anatomy and chemistry at the London Hospital. In his 17th year, Coxe began the study of practical medicine under Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia and continued with him until the MD degree was received in 1794 from the University of Pennsylvania. During the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, Coxe assisted Rush in caring for as many as 50 patients each day stricken with the disease. Following graduation he went abroad again, served as house-pupil for one year in the London Hospital.
