Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory and Practice of Bloodletting Without the knowledge Of its historical evolution, no branch of science can ever become an individual's true intellectual possession. Mastery of any one special field of scientific research can only be achieved when one has followed with patience and untiring zeal the many devious paths, the oft misleading, sometimes blind alleys of error which man's mind has traversed in its quest of the truth.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on Bloodletting Considered as a Therapeutic Agent: Delivered Before the American Medical Association, at Its Meeting at Louisville, Kentucky, May 5, 1875 How much this agent has been neglected, nay positively ignored, by the profession during the last thirty years, is too well known to require any comment; how much it was formerly abused is equally a matter of record, if not a lasting shame. Regarded for a long time as the great, if not indispensable, element in the treat ment of inflammation, it has gradually sunk so low in the estima tion of practitioners that few, if any, have the courage even to hint at its necessity, much less to employ it, lest they should alarm their patients, and thus bring upon themselves public odium. If, now and then, one is bold enough to bleed, he is sure to be taken to task about it, if he is not actually denounced as a murderer. When a remedy, once so popular, and regarded for nearly 2000 years by the most eminent and enlightened men as so essential to success in the treatment of disease, has fallen into utter desuetude, it behooves us, especially the older members of the profession, to pause, and to inquire seriously whether there is not something wrong in all this depreciation whether we have not fallen into the Opposite error, and condemned a remedy which, if judiciously employed, is capable of doing vast good. Extremes are always dangerous, and certainly nowhere more so than in the practice of medicine. We may well ask ourselves the question, Watchman, what of the night? For every one must perceive that it has a. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Magendie in connexion with those of Dr. Clutterbuck on Blood-letting, which latter have been also introduced into the 'library' of the current year, will supply an amount of positive knowledge of the properties and different states of the blood in diseases, and of the indications for its abstraction, and the effects of this measure, which will be sought for, elsewhere, in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Determination of Blood to the Head IF it be asked, why any new book be written on the abuse of blood-letting, after the nume rous attacks, especially those recently made by Dr. Hall, this is the reply. That a trea tise, having no farther commendation, will often tell, through simple novelty. To say that no fresh book needs be published, be cause the subject has already been exhausted, is to Vllify all literature. Theology might be supposed to have been drained to its ultimate idea.

Download or read book Transfusion of Human Blood Classic Reprint written by J. Roussel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transfusion of Human Blood It is absolutely necessary that the public should understand - that the loss of nine or ten ounces of blood at a time is a wholly insignificant loss to the vigorous body of an adult, who possesses in all from fourteen to fifteen kilogrammes; that the trifling wound produced by the lancet on the vein of the arm gives no pain, and is always healed in forty-eight hours; finally, that the health of the person from whom the blood is taken is not impaired at any period by the operation, as the blood is entirely restored in one day after two good meals. Fifty years ago the practice of bleeding was undoubtedly abused in nearly all mala dies, and in consequence of its abuses it is now absolutely rejected where in many cases it might be beneficial. There is no reason why persons in perfect health should fear the loss of a few ounces of blood. It is desirable that the public should know that though ten ounces of blood is no serious loss to a vigorous man, they yet are sufficient in most cases to resuscitate the dying man who has lost many kilo grammes. The fact is that the heart ceases to beat long before all the blood is expended; the hemorrhage ceases, but death ensues nevertheless. The heart, just as is the case with a pump, requires the liquid to attain a certain height in order that it may act; a few ounces less than the minimum amount will be enough to stop it, whereas if these few ounces are supplied and the minimum surpassed the heart te commences its action.

Download or read book Pricking the Vessels written by Henry McCann and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first text on bloodletting therapy for Western practitioners of Chinese medicine, this authoritative text explores the theory and function of bloodletting, and provides detailed instruction on its clinical use. Bloodletting therapy, which works to remove internal and external disruptions to the system through the withdrawal of small quantities of blood, has numerous benefits, especially concerning the treatment of complex or chronic disease. Yet the technique is often met with alarm in the West and side-lined in favour of less controversial treatments such as fine-needle acupuncture, and moxibustion. This book provides a concise overview of its theory, historical and contemporary relevance, and clinical guidance. With detailed reference to the classic texts, the author clarifies the fundamental Chinese medical theory related to blood and the network vessels, and provides an in-depth discussion of the benefits of and practice guidelines for bloodletting. The book includes a chapter on the classical acupuncture techniques of Tung Ching Chang whose work is attracting increasing attention in the West. Through the exploration of classic texts and contemporary standards, the book provides everything needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the technique and to encourage its use as a viable treatment option in the West. It will be an invaluable addition to the resources available for acupuncturists, as well as students and practitioners of Chinese medicine more generally, including those interested in all Chinese approaches to health.

Download or read book The Decline of Therapeutic Bloodletting and the Collapse of Traditional Medicine written by K. Codell Carter and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of a single generation, without significant discussion or debate, a key practice of traditional medicine was almost completely abandoned in mid-nineteenth-century Europe. K. Codell Carter’s book describes how and why bloodletting was abandoned, noting that it was part of a process in which innovation was required so that modern scientific medicine could begin. This book is a masterful study on the collapse of a traditional medical practice. Bloodletting had been a prominent medical therapy in early nineteenth-century Europe and can be traced back to Greek and Roman physicians. The Hippocratic corpus contains several discussions of bloodletting. Galen, the most famous physician in classical antiquity, wrote tracts explaining and defending the practice. It was employed in ancient Egypt and is the most commonly mentioned therapy in the Babylonian Talmud. Indeed, it was practiced in virtually every part of the ancient world. Even though the practice abruptly ceased, there was little argument against it or reason to believe it ineffective. In reality, bloodletting actually worked. However, the rise of modern medicine required not just a change in how disease and causation were conceived, but also a change in the role of medicine in society. It has been claimed that the collapse of traditional medicine was a precondition for the rise of modern medicine, but there has been little support for this assertion before now. Carter provides this missing support. The result is a fascinating study in the history of medical practice and social expectations.
