Surely Frederick was not the third German emperor named Frederick, which is what I would naturally assume from the title of this article? Sandpiper ( talk) 18:30, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
This is frankly horrible. It seems to be a hodge-podge of copy-paste stuff. Can't somebody do a reasonable summary of the article? There is more than enough substantial material in it. Drow69 ( talk) 13:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
OK, the article clearly states that his name is "Friedrich". So...why is the article titled "Frederick"? All the other names are messed up as well. He never had a son named "William". Also, his father was not "William". What is going on here? Cultural genocide much? 68.45.174.58 ( talk) 04:17, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
This section is at least three times as long as it should be and simultaneously contains completely unimportant info while not mentioning some of the most important things, e.g. that Mackenzie stuck to his wrong diagnosis even after it was obvious that it was wrong and that Gerhardt came to the conclusion that Mackenzie took a biopsy of the wrong vocal chord, the one on the right (Gerlach/Keil (1988), p. 278 f. -- Joachim Gerlach und Gundolf Keil: Der Kehlkopfkrebs Kaiser Friedrichs III. In: Würzburger medizinhistorische Mitteilungen 6, 1988).
Even Morell Mackenzie is more honest:
In November, however, the German doctors were again called into consultation, and it was ultimately admitted that the disease really was cancer; but Mackenzie, with very questionable judgment, more than hinted that it had become malignant since his first examination, in consequence of the irritating effect of the treatment by the German doctors. The crown prince became emperor on 9 March 1888 and died on 15 June. During all this period, a violent quarrel raged between Mackenzie and the German medical world. The German doctors published an account of the illness, to which Mackenzie replied by a work entitled The Fatal Illness of Frederick the Noble (1888), the publication of which caused him to be censured by the Royal College of Surgeons.

Include some discussion of the theory that Bismarck influenced the treatment in order to push Fredrick off. 77.69.34.205 ( talk) 17:01, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
