Mary Mallon a.k.a Typhoid Mary

Typhoid Mary is Mary Mallon, the first person identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever, thus the nickname "typhoid Mary". 

She was thought to have infected several people.

Her occupation as a cook made it so.

Wherever she works there was always an outbreak of typhoid fever. 

When she was arrested, she denied being the cause of the illness but she was quarantined for 3 decades.

At the time when she was given a chance to be free, 

she was given a job as a laundress and made to promise to be more hygienic

 to avoid infecting others and never to employ herself as a cook.

But soon after a few weeks of her release news of typhoid fever incidents have been traced. 

She was searched for and quarantined again.

Philip Verheyen: A Surgeon Who Had His Amputated Leg Preserved

Philip Verheyen was a Belgian surgeon who wanted to become a priest but due to an illness that resulted in the amputation of his leg he left the clergy to become an anatomist. Upon his amputation, he insisted to have his amputated leg preserved for future study. It is thought that his strong religious views made him deeply suspicious of burying one part of his body before the remainder was ready for the same fate. So, he dissected his own leg instead and studied it. 

I think, "phantom limb" is likely associated with him.

I encountered this information when my husband was reviewing some medical facts. So, here he is, the anatomist who has a phantom limb...Philip Verheyen!
