Michael Joseph Rossbach (12 February 1842, Heidingsfeld – 8 October 1894, Munich) was a German clinician and pharmacologist.

Michael Joseph Rossbach

He studied medicine at the universities of Würzburg, Munich, Berlin and Prague, receiving his doctorate in 1865. In 1869 he qualified as a lecturer in pharmacology at Würzburg, where in 1874 he became an associate professor. In 1882 became a full professor of special pathology and therapy and director of the medical clinic at the University of Jena as a successor to Hermann Nothnagel.

His name is associated with "Rossbach's disease", a gastric disorder better known as hyperchlorhydria.[2][3]

gollark: It could try going up if it hits an obstruction, or you could just make it stay a large amount above the waypoints and factor this in when creating the path tables.
gollark: When you want to go from A to B, you whatever first search waypoint paths from A to B, then at each waypoint check the position of the next one and fly to it.
gollark: Manually when configuring the waypoints, or with survey drones which check available waypoints when at each waypoint.
