Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Surgery
IT may be considered by many that a book upon Surgery is not at the present time one of the desiderata of the medical profession; and such a remark would, I think, be quite true, if it were intended to apply to a work on the abstract principles of the science. It is not without mature consideration that I have determined upon publishing the present vol. Ume; but I have come to the conclusion, that as its contents are of a practical character, embodying the experience of twenty-five years, dur ing which time I have occupied the position of surgeon to Guy's Hos pita], it would be found useful, not only to the student, but also to those who have entered upon the practice of their profession. It must be borne in mind, that it has not been my intention to write a systematic work on the elements of the science of surgery. These lectures were originally delivered before my hospital pupils; and in thus presenting them to the profession in a collected form, my object has been to furnish a useful compendium of surgery, in which the student may meet with a clear account of the practice of that science, established, not only on my own experience, but likewise upon the best acknowledged authorities. That the practice may not bear in some cases the character of empiricism, I have endeavoured, so far as I have been able to lay down the general principles of science upon which the practice is based at the same time I have avoided as much as possible any discussion of the hypotheses of the time, deeming my practical book an unfit medium for such matter.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In the early days of medicine, few subjects were as critical to understanding and treating patients as studying the blood. In this book, the author, an experienced surgeon, brings to light the importance of an intimate understanding of the blood to health, disease, and the safe practice of surgery. The author leads with an overview of the role of blood in the body, highlighting its role in growth, maintenance, and recovery from disease. He then explores the different elements that make up blood, including red and white blood cells, plasma, and platelets, and explains their unique functions. Following an examination of how blood circulates throughout the body, the book explores how the blood changes as it passes through the body's circulatory system. The author also discusses the effects of disease on the blood, including its use as a diagnostic tool, before concluding with a section on the coagulation of blood and the healing process. This book is a valuable resource for surgeons and other medical professionals who want a deeper understanding of the critical role of blood in health, disease, and the practice of surgery. It provides a detailed overview of the blood's composition, functions, and interactions with the body, making it a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand the human body and its treatment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
