 Becoming a Doctor of Medicine in 1864 after studying at New England Female Medical College, she was the first African-American woman to become a physician in the United States.
 Crumpler first practiced medicine in Boston, primarily for poor women and children.
 After the American Civil War ended in 1865, she moved to Richmond, Virginia, believing it to be "a proper field for real missionary work" and to continue her focus on diseases of women and children.
 Crumpler worked for the Freedmen's Bureau to provide medical care to freed slaves; She was subject to "intense racism" and sexism while practicing medicine.
 She later moved back to Boston and "entered into the work with renewed vigor, practicing outside, and receiving children in [her] house for treatment; regardless, in a measure, of remuneration."
 In 1883, she published "A Book of Medical Discourses".
 Dedicated to nurses and mothers, it focused on the medical care of women and children and was one of the first publications written by an African American about medicine. William J. Robinson

 He was Chief of the department of Genito-Urinary Diseases at Bronx Hospital Dispensary, and editor of the "American Journal of Urology and Sexology".

Clarence Douglas Ussher (September 9, 1870 – September 20, 1955) was an American physician and missionary in the Van region during the Armenian Genocide, where he reported that 55,000 Armenians had been killed.
 In 1917 Ussher published a memoir regarding his experience in Van, titled "An American Physician in Turkey: A Narrative of Adventures in Peace and War".
 It is considered one of the most detailed eyewitness accounts of the events.

Jean Michel (c. 1435–1501) was a French dramatic poet of the fifteenth century known for revising and enlarging the passion play "the Mystery of the Passion" (French title "Le mystère de la passion") by Arnoul Gréban.
 There are three Michels mentioned in connection with this work.
 There is Bishop Jean Michel of Angers (died 1447), a "Maistre Jehan Michel" who was first physician of King Charles VIII (died 1495), and the physician to the dauphin, son of Charles VIII (died 1501).
 The bishop is considered the least likely candididate for being the poet, having died too early, while the physician to the dauphin is the most likely, due to the latter also being associated with Angers, and the work being produced for the first time in its new shape at Angers in 1486.
