Who was the first to write about a certain disease, diagnose it,
and treat it? This book answers those questions for a wide range of
diseases, from Abetalipoproteinemia to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
What were the medical practitioners of previous generations hoping
to achieve? What were their patients expecting of them? The answers
are found in these quotations. Containing over 3,000 entries, and
now updated with more than 450 new quotations, this new edition of
""Medicine in Quotations"" is the most comprehensive collection of
its type published in over 30 years. It is much more than a random
collection of famous sayings relating to sickness and health,
disease and treatment; it is a portrait of medicine throughout
recorded history. You will discover how medical concepts and
practices have developed and shifted through the millennia, and how
many illnesses recognized today were first identified a thousand or
more years ago. Quotations are organized by topic, and each is
fully referenced, allowing curious readers to return to the
original source. Subject and author indices make it easy to find
quotations of interest. ""Medicine in Quotations"" is an invaluable
resource for writers, speakers, and all those interested in the
history of medicine.
