Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1878, presents an overview of contemporary medical controversies and debates, and evaluates the trajectory of medicine to that point. The author presents an early example of recognition and classification of disease based on the symptoms, as opposed to the then-dominant practice of treating diseases as completely separate entities. The author presents the view that such symptomatic treatment is more successful than contemporary standard practice, and presents a number of case studies to support this claim. The author further discusses the progress of medicine over the previous 250 years, and presents a striking critique of the status quo in medical education. The author argues that the prevailing model of medical education is hostile to innovation and blocks progress, and provides a detailed, critical evaluation of the established model as it was practiced at the time. The book concludes with a wide-ranging discussion of the ethical and philosophical implications of medical progress and innovation.
