Excerpt from An Oration on Certainty in Medicine: Delivered Before the Philadelphia Medical Society, February 10, 1830 Allow me to grace the following paper by prefixing to it the name of one, honoured by my country as her first and favourite surgeon, who was my father's friend, and I feel authorized to add, my own. In the chec quered course of a professional life, there is no better or more honourable gratification than the approbation of those who have risen to high eminence by the means, acknowledged by every one, of scientific merit and sterling integrity. That Dr physick may long con tinne to enjoy the honours and repose of age, earned before the time, unassailed by envy or reproach, is the earnest wish of thousands of his fellow citizens, and of none more so than of the author of these sheets.

Book Description
This volume is a collection of 18 papers on the communication of certainty and uncertainty. The first part introduces recent theoretical developments and general models on the topic and its relations with modality, subjectivity, inter-subjectivity, epistemicity, evidentiality, hedging, mitigation and speech acts. In the second part, results from empirical studies in medical and supportive contexts are presented, all of which are based on a conversational analysis approach. These papers report on professional dialogues including advice giving in gynecological consultations, breaking diagnostic bad news to patients, emergency calls, addiction therapeutic community meetings and bureaucratic-institutional interactions. The final part concerns the qualitative and quantitative analysis of corpora, addressing scientific writing (both research and popular articles) and academic communication in English, German, Spanish and Romanian. The collection is addressed to scholars concerned with the topical issues from a theoretical and analytical perspective and to health professionals interested in the practical implications of communicating certainty or uncertainty.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Degree of Certainty in Medicine: And Into the Nature and Extent of Its Power Over Disease The main title of my inquiry is the same as that of the very elegant and classical essay of Cabanis, published half a century ago. I adopt it for the simple reason that there is no other at all appro priate. Since writing my own essay I have read, for the first time for nearly twenty years, the work of Cabanis. Besides the differences that must almost unavoidably exist, in the conception and treatment of a complex and difficult question by different minds, I may be permitted to say, that the leading and principal design and purpose of the two works are not exactly identical. The essay of Cabanis is more elementary than my Inquiry is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Oration on the Guidance of a Sound Philosophical Spirit in the Investigations of Medical Science: Read Before the Cincinnati Medical Society, January 4, 1837 Fundamental to the whole host of follies and errors which infested medical science for so long a succession of years, was this one great, pervading, ruinous misconception - that truth could be elicited by the subtle workings of the mind, independent of the teachings Of experience, - that the man of genius could elaborate in the workshop of his own acute and vigorous faculties a just and satisfactory ex planation of all the phenomena of nature. Deserting the only path of all correct views of the anatomy and physiology of man, and of the diseases to which his body is liable - the path of observation they indulged in the most extravagant conceptions of the organiza tion and actions of the living animal economy. To be sure the plan of attaining their fancied elevation Of knowledge was a very com penduous one, - in which no task was imposed on their industry of reseach'! Immured in the closet, each one could fabricate at pleas ure, the gossamer webs of his own Speculation, and spangle them over with the gaudiest tinsel of a false Iogic. We glory in the present more certain state of medical science; we rejoice in the presence and agency of a sound philosopical Spirit, which is every where in busy, ceaseless force and activity in the discovery of new truths, the detection of old errors, and the addi tional illumination of the admitted doctrines and facts of our science. Our minds, in confiding trust of the onward march of medical knowledge to still higher and higher approximations to certainty, dart forward to the disclosures of coming years. We feel a rejoicing satisfaction, dilating our bosoms, as we contemplate the triumphant progress of medicine in future years. Guided and inspirited by the genius of a sound, authentic, elevating philosophy, medicine will achieve still greater victories over disease, and diffuse in a still wider and wider circle the benefits of its curative influence.
