Patients as People

Archibald Edmund Clark-Kennedy

4.9/5 (27916 ratings)

Description:Dr. Clark-Kennedy adopted an entirely new method of presenting disease in his Medicine in its Human Setting, now so widely known. In the belief that the outstanding characters of fiction are more interesting, and in many ways more real, than the men and women we meet in daily life, and have the advantage of being the common property of a large circle of readers. This method he has extended and perfected in Patients as People an even more striking and valuable book.Here we have, not abstract textbook descriptions, but real people suffering from those changes of state which we talk of as diseases (as if they really existed independently !) with, not only symptoms and signs, but also faults and failings and human hopes and fears, which the doctors, being human too and depicted here as real and even fallible people, sometimes fail to sense. Moreover we see them, not in fleeting pictures, but in their passage through the years.Dr. Clark-Kennedy has in fact created ' disease characters ' which transcend those the student is likely to meet in real life and will in due course become the common property of all who read these books. Miss Sylvia Treadgold's drawings assist materially in their presentation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
