Just a Little Bit of History | |||||||||
James Parkinson (11 April 1755 – 21 December 1824) was an English surgeon, apothecary, geologist, palaeontologist and political activist. He is best known for his 1817 work An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, in which he was the first to describe "paralysis agitans", a condition that would later be renamed Parkinson's Disease by Jean-Martin Charcot who was also the first to suggest the use of the term “Parkinson's disease” rejecting the earlier designation of paralysis agitans or shaking palsy, because he recognized that Parkinson's disease patients are not markedly weak and do not necessarily have tremor. There are no known photographs of Dr. Parkinson as he died before photography was invented. | |||||||||
