This is the first book that analyzes and systematizes all the
general ideas of medicine, in particular the philosophical ones,
which are usually tacit. Instead of focusing on one or two points -
typically disease and clinical trial - this book examines all the
salient aspects of biomedical research and practice: the nature of
disease; the logic of diagnosis; the discovery and design of drugs;
the design of lab and clinical trials; the crafting of therapies
and design of protocols; the moral duties and rights of physicians
and patients; the distinctive features of scientific medicine and
of medical quackery; the unique combination of basic and
translational research; the place of physicians and nurses in
society; the task of medical sociology; and the need for universal
medical coverage. Health care workers, medicine buffs, and
philosophers will find this thought-provoking book highly useful in
their line of work and research.
