Delving into disputed medical practices, this work questions how we diagnose and treat nervous and respiratory disorders in children and adults.
William Griffin’s historical investigation surveys competing theories about conditions like convulsions, crowing, and laryngismus stridulus. It weighs anatomical ideas against emerging approaches, and discusses how evidence, measurement, and theory shape treatment choices. The text also traces how early physicians argued about the roles of nerves, glands, and breathing patterns in disease, offering a window into medical reasoning of its time.
Ideal for readers interested in the history of medicine, medical philosophy, and how past doctors approached uncertain points of practice.
