本研究分析了爱尔兰军医丹尼尔·奥沙利文（1760-c.1797）撰写的一篇鲜为人知的关于抗性病试验的报告的叙述要素。它探讨了奥沙利文作为历史批判报告的叙述者创造医疗英雄和反英雄的方式，作为批评墨西哥城圣安德烈斯总医院工作人员发起的程序的一种手段。这部作品描绘了这一时期医学试验和医院当局的积极形象，远低于迄今为止的记录，并对19世纪西班牙著名医生之一弗朗西斯科哈维尔·巴尔米斯（Javier Balmis，1753-1819）进行了批判性和复杂性的评估。
This study analyses the narrative elements of a little-known report into anti-venereal trials written by an Irish military physician-surgeon, Daniel O'Sullivan (1760–c.1797). It explores the way in which O'Sullivan as the narrator of the Historico-critical report creates medical heroes and anti-heroes as a means to criticise procedures initiated by staff in the Hospital General de San Andrés, Mexico City. The resulting work depicts a much less positive picture of medical trials and hospital authorities in this period than has been recorded to date, and provides a critical and complicated assessment of one of Spain's leading physicians of the nineteenth century, Francisco Javier Balmis (1753–1819).
