The Laws of Medicine
Author: Siddhartha MukherjeePublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147678485X

Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Essential, required reading for doctors and patients alike: A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and one of the world’s premiere cancer researchers reveals an urgent philosophy on the little-known principles that govern medicine—and how understanding these principles can empower us all. Over a decade ago, when Siddhartha Mukherjee was a young, exhausted, and isolated medical resident, he discovered a book that would forever change the way he understood the medical profession. The book, The Youngest Science, forced Dr. Mukherjee to ask himself an urgent, fundamental question: Is medicine a “science”? Sciences must have laws—statements of truth based on repeated experiments that describe some universal attribute of nature. But does medicine have laws like other sciences? Dr. Mukherjee has spent his career pondering this question—a question that would ultimately produce some of most serious thinking he would do around the tenets of his discipline—culminating in The Laws of Medicine. In this important treatise, he investigates the most perplexing and illuminating cases of his career that ultimately led him to identify the three key principles that govern medicine. Brimming with fascinating historical details and modern medical wonders, this important book is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and Eureka! moments that people outside of the medical profession rarely see. Written with Dr. Mukherjee’s signature eloquence and passionate prose, The Laws of Medicine is a critical read, not just for those in the medical profession, but for everyone who is moved to better understand how their health and well-being is being treated. Ultimately, this book lays the groundwork for a new way of understanding medicine, now and into the future.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Medicine, or the Pathology and Therapeutics of Internal Diseases The preparation of such a work has been long in contemplation, suggested by the requests of students, and their evident want of a text-book to follow the lectures on this subject in the Medical Schools with which the writer has been connected. The task has finally been executed, in compliance with conditional promises made to stu dents, and to numerous practitioners who had formerly attended these schools, and who have expressed a desire to have the substance of the teaching they had received, in a more precise and permanent form. For reference and study. There are other reasons, however, than the partiality and wishes of former and present students, or the wants of prospective ones, which may be adduced to favor the claims of this work to a place, whatever place that may be, in our literature.

The Virtues in Medical Practice
Author: Edmund D. PellegrinoPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199748756
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
In recent years, virtue theories have enjoyed a renaissance of interest among general and medical ethicists. This book offers a virtue-based ethic for medicine, the health professions, and health care. Beginning with a historical account of the concept of virtue, the authors construct a theory of the place of the virtues in medical practice. Their theory is grounded in the nature and ends of medicine as a special kind of human activity. The concepts of virtue, the virtues, and the virtuous physician are examined along with the place of the virtues of trust, compassion, prudence, justice, courage, temperance, and effacement of self-interest in medicine. The authors discuss the relationship between and among principles, rules, virtues, and the philosophy of medicine. They also address the difference virtue-based ethics makes in confronting such practical problems as care of the poor, research with human subjects, and the conduct of the healing relationship. This book with the author's previous volumes, A Philosophical Basis of Medical Practice and For the Patient's Good, are part of their continuing project of developing a coherent moral philosophy of medicine.
