Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Treatment of Acute Infectious Diseases To the layman the word "physician" connotes a therapeutist; one whose professional end and aim it is to cure the sick. If he thinks of the physician at all as a student of the science of medicine or as a diagnostician it is only in the sense that he is busied with matters that shall lead to the prevention, cure or alleviation of disease; and yet every practitioner of medicine, seeking assistance in the exercise of his art, feels the disproportion of the much that is offered him of the cause, the course and the consequences of disease and the little that is afforded of the practical application of this knowledge to its legitimate uses, getting the sick man well. As a teacher of therapeutics I have always felt that this branch of medicine has been unduly neglected both in the college curriculum and in the text-book. With the text-book my experience has been that it either speaks in generalities assuming knowledge on the part of the student or physician, when such an assumption should annul its very reason for being, or it catalogues and compiles endless measures and procedures without effort to exercise a judgment of their relative values. The few exceptions to this statement make themselves conspicuous. Successfully or not, it has been the attempt of the author to avoid these extremes of error. Each chapter has been made to deal with an individual disease in a thoroughly practical manner; each little detail of procedure being explained so that the reader may actually apply it. Moreover, the reason for the procedure, as based on our latest information, both with respect to physical therapy and drugs, the author has sought to give. Constant and confusing reference to the literature has been avoided, but an effort to give due credit has been made. The book, finally, must be looked on as an expression of the author´s individual opinion and will he didactic rather than critical. A summary at the end of each chapter is designed to add to its usefulness as a ready reference for the busy practitioner and as a review to the student.
