'Twenty-first century medicine is just the current stage of a
never-ending journey of tremendous complexity. Those of us who are
fortunate enough to practise in this day and age do so in ways that
are themselves the results of huge changes over many centuries -
advances in areas such as medication and surgical and imaging
techniques and developments in our understanding of the human body
and its attendant threats through genetics. Add to that list the
huge social and societal changes in public health, attitudes to
illness and changes in ethical viewpoints, and we find ourselves at
the current forefront of medical evolution but nowhere near the end
of this particular journey.' From the Foreword by Paul Lazarus This
fascinating book brings to life the history of medicine in Britain
since 1600. Throughout the historical account the authors cover
mainstream clinical issues but also make reference to the
importance of literature and art, presenting a wide-ranging view of
the past. It also incorporates milestones in other cultures and
epochs, where appropriate, for a balanced overview. The concise,
self-contained sections are a joy to read and can be easily dipped
into. The majority of chapters include suggested questions for
students, assisting group discussion. It is ideal for medical and
healthcare course organisers, lecturers and tutors who require a
rapid resource of information in their subject area - be it
cardiovascular disease, emergency medicine or child protection - to
provide context, interest and entertainment for their students. It
is also highly recommended as the basis for a programme of seminars
on the history of medicine.
