John Stevenson Bushnan

John Stevenson Bushnan (1807–1884)[1] was an English physician and medical writer.

Life

He was born in London, the eldest child of Joseph Bushnan, an official of the City of London, and his wife, Mary Newton, née Osborn. He passed at Edinburgh in 1830 the examinations of the Royal College of Surgeons and of the Royal College of Physicians.[1]

Marrying, Bushnan lived in Dumfries in the Scottish Borders; and did some work for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. He then had a period studying at Heidelberg, where he graduated M.D, in 1836. Returning to England, he went into practice at Castle Cary in Somerset.[1]

Bushnan was then abroad, from 1841, to 1848.[1] Eventually he settled in London, where he filled the post of editor of the Medical Times and Gazette from 1849 to 1852.[2] Then for one year he was chief physician of the Metropolitan Free Hospital.[1] In 1852 also he became medical superintendent at Wyke House Asylum, a post he held for five years. He then bought his way into the Laverstock House Asylum, which he owned in the period 1860 to 1867.[1]

After a break in London, Bushnan went again into practice in Southampton, in 1871. He retired in 1882.[1]

At the end of his life, Bushnan's sight failed, and he ended his days as a "poor brother" of the London Charterhouse, where he died on 17 February 1884, aged 76.[2]

Sturzstrom

Type of landslide The Mount St. Helens landslide was a sturzstrom.[citation needed] The slide took place on the north face, and created the valley-like gap seen here. A Sturzstrom (from the German Sturz (fall) and Strom (stream, flow)) or rock avalanche is a large landslide consisting of soil and rock which travels a great horizontal distance (as much as 20 or 30 times) compared to its initial vertical drop.[1] Sturzstroms have similarities to the flow of glaciers, mudflows, a...
