A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To MY friends in the United States, known and unknown, I offer sincere greetings in presenting this gallery of medical portraits. It opens with the story of a physician born in the reign of George the Third, an English king who had something to do with American history. It concludes with the lives of two of the greatest of modern surgeons, the Mayo brothers, who are as famous all over the world as they are in their own country. The thread running through the book is that of personality. It is not history, nora mere chronicle of diseases. This explains the title, for each of these characters taken from the modern story of medicine reveals that fundamental aim of medicine: the power to bring relief to suffering and not only that, but the art of making people whole, of helping them to realise their full mental and physical potentialities. Physicians who may chance to read these pages will of course find much that is well known to them. I cannot hope they will agree with all my interpretations, but I trust they will get a sense of my pleasure in knowing some of them, and something of their country, as well as my sense of what American values of experiment and innovation have given to the earlier European values of tradition. If I am fortunate, some copies of the book will fall into the hands of parents and teachers, and others not vocationally connected with medicine. For them I have tried to write non-technically, for I believe that everyone of us should comprehend the gift which is manifested in the great physicians.
