What is recorded here
Robert Bentley Todd emerged from Dublin in 1809 to redefine medicine across Europe. He identified postictal paralysis before others named it, forcing physicians everywhere to watch recovery as closely as collapse. His clarity stripped mystery from suffering and gave doctors a language for what muscles forget after a storm.
