ON THE SHOULDERS OF MEDICINES GIANTS - ROBERT B...

Medical history offers us many wise thoughts  a few misguided notions  and a host of intriguing
back-stories. On the Shoulders of Medicine¿s Giants presents a selection of these  and tells
how the words of medicine¿s ¿giants¿¿such as Hippocrates  Sir William Osler  Francis Weld
Peabody  and Elizabeth Kübler-Ross¿are relevant to medical science and practice in the 21st
century. Which physician was the inspiration for the fictional character Sherlock Holmes  and
what did he identify as the real essential factor in all successful medical diagnosis? What did
Sigmund Freud describe as his ¿tyrant ¿ and what might this mean for doctors today? Do you know
the attributed source of the well-known aphorism about horses and zebras  and what we believe
this physician actually said? This book answers these questions and more  while also providing
fascinating tales about each individual quoted. On the Shoulders of Medicine¿s Giants is
recommended for practicing physicians  students  and residents  as well as nurse practitioners
physician assistants  and anyone involved in patient care who wants to understand the
historical and epistemological foundations of what we do each day in practice. To see Dr.
Taylor lecture on the history of medicine  go here: https:  youtu.be Zx4yaUyaPRA
