Rest and Pain (Classic Reprint): A Course of Lectures on the Influence of Mechanical and Physiological Rest in the Treatment of Accidents and Surgical Diseases, and the Diagnostic Value of Pain - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Rest and Pain explains how mechanical and physiological rest can aid healing after accidents and surgical disease, with practical methods and real examples to ease pain and speed recovery.
This edition gathers a series of lectures that explore rest as a therapeutic tool, from soothing inflamed membranes to supporting joints and organs. It presents guidance on when to rest, how to apply external treatments, and why limiting movement can be essential for recovery.
- Foundations of mechanical and physiological rest as a treatment approach.
- Practical techniques such as splints, bandages, and thoughtfully applied external applications.
- Physiological reasoning about pain, inflammation, and the body’s natural repair processes.
- Clinical examples that illustrate when rest improves outcomes in pleural, pericardial, and joint disorders.
Ideal for readers of medical history, surgical classics, and those seeking a historical perspective on rest as therapy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from Rest and Pain: A Course of Lectures on the Influence of Mechanical and Physiological Rest in the Treatment of Accidents and Surgical Diseases, and the Diagnostic Value of Pain
The first edition of these lectures was published, soon after their delivery, at the express request of some who had read them as they appeared at intervals in the weekly journals, and by many others who desired to have them gathered into a separate form. The first edition, in which I had the kindly and liberal help of my personal friends. Dr. Daldy and Mr. Durham, at that time Demonstrator of Anatomy at Guys Hospital, was soon out of print. It was my intention at that time to have enlarged the volume by additional matter derived from other and different surgical diseases, but all having the same purpose in view - namely, to show how largely we are indebted for our professional success in surgical practice to the recuperative power of Nature, especially when helped by the suggestions of a thoughtful surgeon. But, on carefully scrutinizing the materials, I foresaw what appeared to be insuperable difficulties; and since then, from one cause or another, I have allowed the reappearance of these lectures to be from time to time deferred. As, however, I have lately been assured, on repeated occasions, that a second edition would be welcome and useful to many, I have submitted the lectures to the careful and judicious editorial guidance of Mr. Jacobson, who has conferred on me a great obligation for the work he has now so well accomplished, with the slight aid of my own occasional assistance and supervision.
It will give me great pleasure and satisfaction to know that the republication of these lectures will be useful to the students at Guys Hospital, where I emphatically taught by lectures, and demonstrated clinically in my wards, the therapeutic value of mechanical and physiological rest in surgery.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound significance of rest in the realm of healing and surgery. Dating back to a time when rest was the primary means of recuperation, the author explores its role as an intrinsic and often overlooked therapeutic force. Through a blend of anatomical insights and physiological principles, the book sheds light on the body's innate ability to repair itself, emphasizing the importance of minimizing disturbances to optimize healing processes. With meticulous attention to detail, the author examines how nature ingeniously employs rest to restore various organs, from the brain to the liver and kidneys. The concept of "physiological rest" is introduced, highlighting the need for organs to cycle between states of activity and repose to maintain optimal function. The book further delves into the role of the cerebrospinal fluid in providing mechanical rest for the brain, drawing parallels with the protective mechanisms of other organs. This exploration extends to the intricate nervous system, exploring the diagnostic value of pain and its role in signaling the need for rest in injured or diseased areas. Drawing upon years of surgical experience, the author presents compelling case studies that illustrate the remarkable efficacy of rest in treating a wide range of conditions, including joint diseases, abscesses, and spinal injuries. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the enduring power of rest as a fundamental principle in the art of healing. It underscores the importance of understanding and harnessing the body's natural healing abilities, offering invaluable insights for both medical practitioners and individuals seeking to optimize their well-being.
