Download or read book Medical Theory Surgical Practice written by Christopher Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, Medical Theory, Surgical Practice examines medical and surgical concepts of disease and their relation to the practice of surgery, in particular historical settings. It emphasises that understanding concepts of disease does not just include recounting explicit accounts of disease given by medical men. It needs an analysis of the social relations embedded in such concepts. In doing this, the contributors illustrate how surgery rose from a relatively humble place in seventeenth century life to being seen as one of the great achievements of late Victorian culture. They examine how medical theory and surgical practices relate to social contexts, how physical diagnosis entered medicine and whether anaesthesia and Lister’s antiseptic techniques really did cause a revolution in surgical practice.
Download or read book Philosophy of Medicine written by Fred Gifford and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers a wide range of conceptual, epistemological and methodological issues in the philosophy of science raised by reflection upon medical science and practice. Several chapters examine such general meta-scientific concepts as discovery, reduction, theories and models, causal inference and scientific realism as they apply to medicine or medical science in particular. Some discuss important concepts specific to medicine (diagnosis, health, disease, brain death). A topic such as evidence, for instance, is examined at a variety of levels, from social mechanisms for guiding evidence-based reasoning such as evidence-based medicine, consensus conferences, and clinical trials, to the more abstract analysis of experimentation, inference and uncertainty. Some chapters reflect on particular domains of medicine, including psychiatry, public health, and nursing. The contributions span a broad range of detailed cases from the science and practice of medicine, as well as a broad range of intellectual approaches, from conceptual analysis to detailed examinations of particular scientific papers or historical episodes. Chapters view philosophy of medicine from quite different angles Considers substantive cases from both medical science and practice Chapters from a distinguished array of contributors

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of Medical Science, the Doctrine of an Inherent Power in Medicine a Fallacy: The Ultimate Special Properties of Vitality and the Laws of Vital Force Constitute the Fundamental Basis of Medical, Philosophy and Science The supposed power in materia medica and poisons is an error Of gigantic magnitude, which has no place in nature, and is the greatest delusion of thought ever adopted by civilized humanity. The science Of medicine is based on only one source Of power, namely, the vital power; and a correct theory Of vitality demonstrates the ideal delusion which has invested materia medica and poisons with active principles or inherent powers. The relation of materia medica and poisons to the human organism not one of power, but one of cause. Causes may be derived from various sources, but organic activities in health and disease receive their momentum from vital power.

Download or read book The Human Effect in Medicine written by Michael Dixon (M.D.) and published by Radcliffe Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is modern medicine failing? Why is a more human approach required? This book challenges the dogma of modern technological medicine that ignores both the therapeutic effect of the doctors and the self-healing powers of the patient. It reviews the vast weight of evidence on the effectiveness of this 'human effect', and uses the evidence to describe how to use the human effect in everyday practice. This book is about a vision. A vision that practitioners and patients will recognise and regain their therapeutic potential. It provides a shift in perspective on what doctors can achieve. Thoroughly referenced, it is vital for general practitioners, and also very relevant to all doctors, nurses, health managers, policy makers and indeed patients. 'Pendulums swing in most fields of life, and medicine and general practice are no exceptions. At the mid-point of the twentieth century the human side of medicine was well understood and implicitly accepted by most working practitioners. As the century progressed, the personal aspects came second (but now) the pendulum of thought has started to swing back again towards the personal.
Download or read book Possibility Theory and the Medical Ethic written by Russell NOBLETT and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the author describes in detail the creative process whereby objective, evidence-based medicine emerges from, and thus relies upon, the subjective milieu of the doctor-patient relationship. This clarifies the nature of the "art" of medicine, and the relationship between the art and the science of medicine. The result is twofold: to defend the return of the clinician to the patient bedside, as the source of quality medical decision making, and to elaborate a philosophy of medicine as a social science that uses the natural sciences creatively in the service of its deeper humanistic agenda. This deeper agenda is the medical ethic.
