Excerpt from Outlines of the History of Medicine and the Medical Profession To attain both the objects thus indicated, by bringing to the notice of his colleagues, the practitioners of medicine, the history of their depart ment and their profession, was the original design of the author in the publication of the present work. For those who are interested solely in literary aims his book was not written, and accordingly he has omitted extended bibliographical notices, preferring to refer the reader for these to the larger manuals on this subject.' His plan has been to consider first the genetic side of the subject, introducing for this purpose a sketch of even prehistoric medicine, and next to set forth the history of the medical pro fession in considerable detail. In both departments he has striven to present the subject in such a manner as should awaken and maintain the interest of the reader. Whether he has failed in his purpose or fallen behind the aims which he had set before him it is not for him to decide. No man is perfect; neither is any book. But in so weighty an undertaking as the publication of a work on general history the author hopes for that indulgence which may be claimed, indeed, by every man who has done his work honestly. According to the measure of his strength, and who seeks to appear no greater than he really is. Of course. For most of the facts recorded in the present work the author is indebted to others. Still he has everywhere preserved the right of inde pendent examination and judgment as to who, among the often conflicting authorities, seems, on the whole, the most reliable. Many things, however, he has proved by reference to the original authorities, and thus made them, as it were, his own. The conception of the history of medicine as a branch of the general history of civilization, a large portion of the history of the profession and his account of the most ancient and most recent develop ments of medical art, he believes he may also justly claim as original. That the book has found so conscientious a collaborator, to whom it is indebted for considerable amplification particularly in the sections on English and American medicine, with which he was, of course, better acquainted than the author - and numerous corrections, is an advantage which no one can better appreciate than the author himself.

A bestselling history of medicine, enriched with a new foreword, concluding essay, and bibliographic essay. Erwin H. Ackerknecht’s A Short History of Medicine is a concise narrative, long appreciated by students in the history of medicine, medical students, historians, and medical professionals as well as all those seeking to understand the history of medicine. Covering the broad sweep of discoveries from parasitic worms to bacilli and x-rays, and highlighting physicians and scientists from Hippocrates and Galen to Pasteur, Koch, and Roentgen, Ackerknecht narrates Western and Eastern civilization’s work at identifying and curing disease. He follows these discoveries from the library to the bedside, hospital, and laboratory, illuminating how basic biological sciences interacted with clinical practice over time. But his story is more than one of laudable scientific and therapeutic achievement. Ackerknecht also points toward the social, ecological, economic, and political conditions that shape the incidence of disease. Improvements in health, Ackerknecht argues, depend on more than laboratory knowledge: they also require that we improve the lives of ordinary men and women by altering social conditions such as poverty and hunger. This revised and expanded edition includes a new foreword and concluding biographical essay by Charles E. Rosenberg, Ackerknecht’s former student and a distinguished historian of medicine. A new bibliographic essay by Lisa Haushofer explores recent scholarship in the history of medicine.

Excerpt from The History of Medicine, Vol. 1: Comprising a Narrative of Its Progress From the Earliest Ages to the Present Time, and of the Delusions Incidental to Its Advance From Empiricism to the Dignity of a Science The purpose of the following pages is to consider the past history, the present state, and the future prospects of the Medical Profession. To record the names and preserve the memory of those whose great achievements have conferred benefit and lustre on their fellow-men, has in all ages been re garded as a duty, and felt as a gratification to wise and reflecting men but whilst endeavouring to relate the principal events which have contributed to make the medical profession what it now is a high and noble calling - it will also be necessary to speak of the prevailing delusions which have been, and still are, practised by the unprincipled, to tempt the unwise and unwary, making largeness of promise a profitable trade, and sinking the profession in name, though not in deed, to a base and degrading craft.

In this extensively researched history of medical schools, William Rothstein, a leading historian of American medicine, traces the formation of the medical school from its origin as a source of medical lectures to its current status as a center of undergraduate and graduate medical education, biomedical research, and specialized patient care. Using a variety of historical and sociological techniques, Rothstein accurately describes methods of medical education from one generation of doctors to the next, illustrating the changing career paths in medicine. At the same time, this study considers medical schools within the context of the state of medical practice, institutions of medical care, and general higher education. The most complete and thorough general history of medical education in the United States ever written, this work focuses both on the historical development of medical schools and their current status.

Excerpt from A History of Medical Education: From the Most Remote to the Most Recent Times The historical development of medical teaching exhibits a character similar to that of medical science in general. Necessity, the inventive Instructor Of Mankind, furnished the occasion, as indeed hippokrates* says, for the first attempts at healing. The combative habits of rude barbarians, whose favourite pursuits were hunting and war, entailed the infliction of wounds for which help was demanded. Sympathizing friends and fellow-soldiers tended the hurts, washing out the wounds and dressing them with cooling herbs. Soon there arose a select few, who investigating the healing properties of plants, turned their knowledge Of this subject to account for the benefit of their neighbours. If they were naturally endowed with the gifts required for Observing Nature they no doubt Soon made the attempt, as occasion Offered, to study the fundamental character of the wounds which they undertook to treat. In this way gradually a kind of medical craft was formed, the members of which, by empirical methods, arrived at remarkable dexterity in healing external injuries. In the case of internal affections, particularly however in the case of epidemics, the causes Of which are not so manifest as those of external injuries, recourse was had for counsel to those who, in that early period of civilization, passed.
