The author begins by introducing the state of medical knowledge in the late 18th century, before the scientific revolution that transformed our understanding of the human body and disease. Describing the gradual development of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, the author shows how these new sciences provided the foundation for more effective medical treatments. However, the author also explores the limitations of medical practice, arguing that while science has greatly improved our understanding of disease, it has not always led to corresponding improvements in treatment. The author concludes by discussing the changing role of the physician in the light of these developments, and the importance of realistic expectations about what medicine can and cannot achieve. Exploring the complex relationship between science and practice, this book provides a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to the history of medicine.
