Book Description
Excerpt from Medical Lectures and Aphorisms Contrasting hospital practice and private practice we may say that the main advantage of hospital practice is the opportunity it affords for examining the bodies of patients after death. The main advantage of private practice is that you know so much more about your patients during their life than you can by any means discover about persons who flit through a hospital and vanish into the darkness whence they came. Private patients say that you come to know their constitution, and there is much in this knowledge which is apt to be underrated by the inexperienced. The hospital offers 'a case in the wards', a patient whom you attend for a few days or weeks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Prominent themes in the discourses on Britain's post-war regeneration include national character, citizenship, fitness, education, utopia, and community. The chapters in the present volume address these themes and break new ground by examining debates well known in political and literary history through their relations to science, medicine, architecture and ideas of social and political ‘health'.

Book Description
This highly interesting collection of historical articles started as a series of “space-fillers”, the journalist's device to mitigate the harshness of white space at the end of scientific papers. The author has expanded these short essays and included several additional articles and biographical reviews. He has also incorporated some longer, more discursive essays, which should be relevant to neurologists, physicians and those working in internal medicine and psychiatry. The reader attracted to medical and neurological history should find much of interest in these diverse topics. Contents:Anatomical and Neurophysiological PhenomenaAspects of Cerebral DisordersDementiasHeadachesEpilepsy and Related DisordersCerebrospinal Fluid and HydrocephalusStrokes and Vascular DiseasesOcular DisordersCranial Nerve DisordersDiseases of the Spine, the Spinal Cord, and RadiculopathiesNeuralgias and PolyneuropathiesPhysical SignsGenetic, Developmental and Congenital DisordersMovement DisordersNeuromuscular DiseasesMiscellaneousIllnesses of the Famous, and Some Medical Truants Readership: Those interested in the history of neurology, neuroscience, general and psychological medicine.

Students of nuerology and neurophysicians will be thrilled to read it.”World Neurology “It would be a real asset to all medical libraries. It is quite amazing how the author has so successfully covered the medical contributions of Vesalius, Virchow, Broca and others. The author's enthusiasm is quite infectious and the book will encourage readers to delve further into the fascinating realm of medical history.”Alan Meltzer ex-Senior Medical Advisor Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, Health Canada “Fragments of neurological history is one of those amazing books that can be dipped into at any page to provide fresh information. Here is also a reference book that can be read from cover to cover, to help us enjoy our three main indications for the study of medical history — to avoid the mistakes of the past, as a rewarding academic discipline, and because it is fun … For those yet to discover neurohistory pleasures, there is not a better book to encourage them to start the journey down the road of neurological history.”Brain
