Famous People And Their Illnesses

This 10-week course introduces participants each session to a well-known individual, some long dead, others still alive, but each one who has suffered from a chronic disease. Through their fascinating medical histories we will learn about their diseases, what was known at the time and how their illness did or may have impacted on what they achieved. Amongst the histories we will explore will be those of Alexander the Great, Henry 8th, Renoir, JFK and Whoopi Goldberg
