["Decemberal" crisis in Polish Society of History of Medicine].

: In December 1970 in Warsaw the meeting of the Polish Society of History of Medicine delegates was performed. The Author who was the Lower Silesian section delegate described the course of this meeting with his personal point of view. The programme's main point was the report of former Board and the election of new one. The discussion during the meeting concentrated on the polemic between former chairman Prof. Stanislaw Konopka and his successor Doc. Stanislaw Szpilczynski from Wroclaw. The very fierce discussion was moderated by the meeting's president prof. Kazimierz Lejman from Krakow. The Author calls the attention to the accidental coincidence of the date of the meeting and the political crisis in Poland, caused by the strikes in the Balticseaside.
