Book Description
Excerpt from Glimpses of an Improved Medical Philosophy Q l. The following work, glimpses or AN improved medical philosophy, is not published under an impression that it will meet with much favor from either the literary, philosophical, or medical world: it 18 more likely to meet just a contrary reception. I am well aware that the rules of inductive philosophy are most unmercifully violated; and that received doctrines, sanctioned by the very highest authority, are very strangely disregarded: but the case requires all this. To unlearn is more difficult, in many ih stances. Than to learn; and in proportion as error is supported by high authority, the less willing will be those who have labored zealously to acquire those erroneous notions, to canvass the plalislblllly of con trary Opinions.

Medical Philosophy: Conceptual Issues In Medicine
Author: Mario Augusto BungePublisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9814508969
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This is the first book that analyzes and systematizes all the general ideas of medicine, in particular the philosophical ones, which are usually tacit. Instead of focusing on one or two points — typically disease and clinical trial — this book examines all the salient aspects of biomedical research and practice: the nature of disease; the logic of diagnosis; the discovery and design of drugs; the design of lab and clinical trials; the crafting of therapies and design of protocols; the moral duties and rights of physicians and patients; the distinctive features of scientific medicine and of medical quackery; the unique combination of basic and translational research; the place of physicians and nurses in society; the task of medical sociology; and the need for universal medical coverage. Health care workers, medicine buffs, and philosophers will find this thought-provoking book highly useful in their line of work and research.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Relation of Medicine to Philosophy That the progress of medical science has enor mously reduced the death-rate no one can possibly deny. The cry occasionally heard, that there is a vast increase in diseases which were never heard of before, is purely absurd; this increase of disease is merely increase in the differentiation of disease. Because at one time the word fever served to cover almost every affection in which the pulse and respiration were quickened and the skin hot, the sum total of disease has not been increased by giving different names to the various fevers. To take a more techni cal instance, the disease of the nervous system called Disseminated Sclerosis will almost undoubtedly be divided up with increasing knowledge into several diseases of the spinal cord, but the sum total of diseases will not be larger. There is, however, just this much truth in the outcry, that as man's life has become more complex with advancing civilisation, so the possibility of minor oscillations from complete adjustment to the environment becomes increasingly great; it is more difficult to be perfectly healthy, because a higher standard of health is required by modern life. This is particularly seen in the case of insanity for civilisation, by increasing the number of social and moral rules to be observed, increases the possibility of their infraction.
