First edition of a historic scientific book. The Serum
Diagnosis of
Disease by Richard Clark Cabot. Before serum diagnosis
doctors could not
differentiate between diseases with similar observed symptoms
?such as typhoid and malaria?and often gave the wrong
treatment. 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 blood testing as a
diagnostic tool. He integrated health care and social work. He
pioneered 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.
