Talk:Stephen Hales

Can he be regarded as a chemist ? Internet sources say he can't. Can someone verify this fact? Kpjas 15:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Difficult issue as the distinction between scientific disciplines was much less clear then than now. Hales is mentioned as a chemist in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th Edition (1875) and 10th Edition (1902)(http://www.1902encyclopedia.com/C/CHE/chemistry-008.html), although his contributions in this field seem fairly minor and I personally wouldn't have considered him a major figure in the history of chemistry (talk) 06:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems that Hales is viewed as a major figure in Pneumatic chemistry. I will try and deal with this in my (on-going) revision of this article.Adh (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

This is surprisingly empty but added in the expectation that it will fill out and dare I say, perhaps finding it empty some philanthropist will assist in said filling ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DadaNeem (talk • contribs) 01:03, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Inaccuracies
Invention of the forceps, including for the first surgical treatment of bladder stones, is generally attributed to Al-Zahwari in 800s Cordoba Spain. The forceps and 200 other surgical instruments were documented in his work Kitab al-Tasrif, which was translated into Latin and became the standard surgical reference until ca. 1500.
