Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Chest: In Which They Are Described According to Their Anatomical Characters, and Their Diagnosis Established on a New Principle by Means of Acoustick Instruments; With Plates Indeed, the facilities for the prosecution of this department of knowledge in France, are so very superior to those in England, that we ought rather to be surprised that our own country has in any case excelled the former, than that we should be occasionally obliged, as in the present instance, to look to it for information. In explanation of this remark I shall here quote the words of a late writer, who has given us much information respecting the state of medicine and medical institutions on the Continent. "All the hospitals of Paris are under the direction of a general administration; and from the office of this board, where medical men attend during a certain part of the day to examine them, patients are sent to the different hospitals. This plan may be attended with some inconveniences to the patients, but has not a few advantages to the practice of medicine. Through means of this arrangement the physician of any hospital, whose attention is turned more particularly to any disease or class of diseases, by application to the central office may have such diseases sent to his own hospital. Thus a much greater number of cases of the disease, which is the object of his particular inquiry, is brought under his observation in a given time (an object of no small importance) than could otherwise, or might indeed ever, have been. To this plan we perhaps owe, in a great measure, the excellent works of Corvisart and Bayle, and that of Dr. Laennec on the diagnosis of the diseases of the chest. The fatal cases are generally examined after death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
