First edition of a major clinical work by one of the most
important names in American medicine.
<p>Today you take it for granted that your doctor will do a
blood test to find out what is wrong with you. Just 110 years
blood testing was a revolutionary diagnostic tool. In Clinical
Examination of the Blood Richard Clark Cabot compiled and
codified everything then known about disease and blood. This
volume represents a milestone in medical
progress.
<p>Few men have contributed as much to medicine and society
as
Richard Clark Cabot, yet today his legacy is sadly overlooked. Dr.
Cabot studied, published and established bloodtesting as a
diagnostic tool. He integrated healthcare and social work. He
pioneereed case study as a teaching tool which lead to "teaching
hospitals." There would be no Grey's Anatomy or
House if not for Dr. Cabot. He was not a surgeon or
specialist, just an internist with a private practice in Boston. He
also saw outpatients at Massachusetts General Hospital and
taught at Harvard Medical School. His meticulously observed
patient notes filled 36 bound volumes and became the basis for
case teaching. On the whole he made medicine more scientific
and socially responsible.
