Book Description
Excerpt from History of Medicine: With the Code of Medical Ethics From 1892 to 1897, both years included, I gave to the senior class of the Northwestern University Medical School each year a course of fourteen or fifteen lectures on the history of medicine from the earliest periods of which we have any records, to the end of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. My object was to trace with as much clearness and accuracy as possible the origin and progressive development of the various branches of medical science and practice, and their intimate connection with the progress of all other departments of human knowledge. The following chapters, constituting this book, have been written and revised from the notes used in the lecture room; each chapter representing a lecture in the order in which it was given. I have consented to their publication in a neat, but inexpensive volume, in the hope that they might attract the attention of a large proportion of both students and practitioners of medicine; and thereby diffuse a better knowledge of the origin, progress, and present status of the true science and art of medicine.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. HISTORY OF MEDICINE FROM THE SEVENTH TO THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. THE ARABIAN ERA. In the preceding chapter the history of medical progress was traced from the time of Galen, the second century A. D., to the seventh century A. D. During that period the great Roman Empire had culminated in its greatness and divided into Eastern and Western Empires; and Rome, only a little before mistress of the world, had, under the repeated attacks of so-called Northern barbarians and the effect of internal dissensions, become little more than a heap of ruins. The Eastern Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, was still maintaining a semblance of power, though its downfall was rapidly approaching. During the same period the general aspect of medicine had undergone an equally radical change. The renowned school of Alexandria, with its library and museum, had been destroyed. The rapid spread of Christianity and its dominating influence throughout the Roman Empire had resulted in suppressing nearly all the iEsclepiadae and associated medical schools. By doing so the intimate and long-continued connection of medicine with the ever-varying systems and schools of Grecian and GrecoRoman philosophy was effectually broken up. Many of the educated members of the medical profession embraced the Christian doctrines, and served as Archiators, and many others joined the monasteries and the newly organized hospitals for the sick and again reunited the functions of both physician and priest. When the Emperor Justinian, 529 A. D., finally closed the only remaining important DEGREESEsclepion at Acropolis, and the Platonic School at Athens, their occupants, together with many of the Greek and Roman scholars, migrated into Syria, Arabia and other parts of As

Rethinking Health Care Ethics
Author: Stephen ScherPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811308306
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The goal of this open access book is to develop an approach to clinical health care ethics that is more accessible to, and usable by, health professionals than the now-dominant approaches that focus, for example, on the application of ethical principles. The book elaborates the view that health professionals have the emotional and intellectual resources to discuss and address ethical issues in clinical health care without needing to rely on the expertise of bioethicists. The early chapters review the history of bioethics and explain how academics from outside health care came to dominate the field of health care ethics, both in professional schools and in clinical health care. The middle chapters elaborate a series of concepts, drawn from philosophy and the social sciences, that set the stage for developing a framework that builds upon the individual moral experience of health professionals, that explains the discontinuities between the demands of bioethics and the experience and perceptions of health professionals, and that enables the articulation of a full theory of clinical ethics with clinicians themselves as the foundation. Against that background, the first of three chapters on professional education presents a general framework for teaching clinical ethics; the second discusses how to integrate ethics into formal health care curricula; and the third addresses the opportunities for teaching available in clinical settings. The final chapter, "Empowering Clinicians", brings together the various dimensions of the argument and anticipates potential questions about the framework developed in earlier chapters.
