Jacalyn Duffin's History of Medicine provides a brief survey of the history of Western medicine with reference to recent scholarly literature and current issues in health care. Organized conceptually around the major fields of medical endeavour - anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, surgery, obstetrics, psychiatry, pediatrics, and family medicine - this book is an accessible overview of medical history as a vibrant component of social, intellectual, and cultural history, and as a research discipline in its own right.Each chapter begins in antiquity and ends in the twentieth century. Throughout, Duffin shows that alternative interpretations can be found for most elements of our past and that topics of interest can go well beyond 'great men' and 'great discoveries' to include ideas, diseases, patients, institutions, and great mistakes. This approach does not mean that the 'great men' (and women) are neglected; rather they appear in context. Medical disasters such as chloramphenicol and thalidomide, are covered along with the triumphs, and examples from Canada's past, largely ignored in other medical histories, are included. A chapter on methodology, suggestions for further reading with special attention to Canadian sources, and a careful index make it possible to research a specific event or historical debate, or to satisfy a more general curiosity.By presenting the material in a structure that resonates with the broad outlines of medical training, and by focusing on the questions asked most often, this text is a relevant guide for students to the history of the profession they are about to embrace, and for those who would teach them, be they physicians or historians. Duffin's clear and entertaining prose and the many illustrations will help to demystify medicine for general readers and for students in other domains, such as history, philosophy, and sociology.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
初听到《医学简史》这个书名,还以为是哪个无名人士出的一本蹭所谓某某简史热度来的网红作品。 拿到书后发现,首先其2厘米的厚度和45万字已经让人感到敬重。而随意翻开书中各种附表,图片以及或文学或医学参考段落,以其他角度辅助说明或解释的方式,让读者能感到理解上更轻松... (展开)囊括医学各方面的简史
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
生老病死,是人生一定会遇到的阶段。 年纪渐长,觉得需要些医学知识,所以买了这本书,然后发现做了一个非常正确的决定,因为这本书真的是太棒了。 首先作为历史类书籍,常常我们遇到的情况是主要强调历史上人物的功绩,以一种赞叹的态度来叙述事件对现今的影响,或者强调某种... (展开)> 更多书评 15篇
