    Area of Science:

    • Internal Medicine
    • Medical History
    • Sociology of Medicine

    Background:

    • The late 1960s marked a period of intense internal conflict within the German Society of Internal Medicine (DGIM).
    • Traditional conservative viewpoints clashed with emerging demands for reform across various medical and societal aspects.

    Observation:

    • Key areas of debate included the DGIM's self-definition, the doctor-patient dynamic, medical education, hospital governance, and inter-professional relationships.
    • This ideological divide became particularly evident during the 1972/73 DGIM presidency transition.

    Findings:

    • The transition saw Gotthard Schettler, resistant to the 1968 reform movements, succeeded by Herbert Begemann, a reform-minded, left-leaning figure.
    • Begemann's presidency extended the focus beyond internal medical matters to encompass broader political issues.

    Implications:

    • The DGIM's internal struggles reflected wider societal shifts and debates within the medical community.
    • This period highlights the dynamic interplay between professional self-regulation, political influence, and evolving medical ethics.
