During this process, they found a wallet containing three prescriptions.

One of the prescriptions was for Ibsen's wife, Suzannah, for an iodine-based medication in the form of sodium iodide. Ibsen likely started using these medications when Edvard Bull became his doctor in 1903. Given Bull's robust medical knowledge and exceptional, energetic monitoring of Ibsen's health, there is no reason to believe the treatment was harmful.</p>","PeriodicalId":23123,"journal":{"name":"Tidsskrift for Den Norske Laegeforening","volume":"145 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144045091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
