| Edition: Second, North American Edition
This book is a primary review tool to prepare
students for both the internal medicine clerkship and the
end-rotation NBME shelf examination. This logical alternative to
several limited-focus books blends a bullet-outline format students
prefer in a review book with comprehensive paragraphs, as needed,
for optimal preparation. Illustrations, charts, tables, graphs,
mnemonics, and "Quick Hits" pearls for the clerkship speed
and supplement learning. Ample content without superfluous detail
enables students to readily evaluate and expand their knowledge of
cardiology, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, hematology,
neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, genitourinary
disorders, fluids and electrolytes, dermatology, and musculoskeletal
problems.
A new section in this Second Edition presents 100
USMLE-style clinical vignette-based questions with answers. A color
insert contains over thirty full-color images.
A companion Website will offer the fully
searchable text and color photographs.

Book Description

Since ancient times
people have depended on medical practitioners to enhance life, to
treat illness and injuries, and to help reduce pain and suffering.
The scientifically based discipline that we know today stands beside
diverse traditions, belief systems, and bodies of medical knowledge
that have evolved in fascinating ways across cultures and
continents. Throughout this history, successive generations have
created artistic representations of these varied aspects of
medicine, illustrating instruction manuals, documenting treatments,
and creating works of art that enable individuals to express their
feelings and ideas about medicine, health, and illness. From ancient
wall paintings and tomb carvings to sculpture, installations, and
digitally created artworks, the results are extraordinary and pay
tribute to how medicine has affected our lives and the lives of our
ancestors.
Drawing on the remarkable holdings of the
Wellcome Collection in London, The Art of Medicine offers a
unique gallery of rarely seen paintings, artifacts, drawings,
prints, and extracts from manuscripts and manuals to provide a
fascinating visual insight into our knowledge of the human body and
mind, and how both have been treated with medicine. Julie Anderson,
Emm Barnes, and Emma Shackleton take readers on a fascinating visual
journey through the history of medical practice, exploring
contemporary biomedical images, popular art, and caricature
alongside venerable Chinese scrolls, prehistoric Mesoamerican
drawings, paintings of the European Renaissance, medieval Persian
manuscripts, and more. The result is a rare and remarkable visual
account of what it was and is to be human in sickness and health.

Book Description
Publication Date:
November 25, 1988 | ISBN-10: 0521368189 | ISBN-13:
978-0521368186
This book sketches and illustrates in detail the range of
understandings of the human condition and remedies for ills that
prevailed when Jesus and the apostles - as well as their successors
- were spreading the Christian message and launching Christian
communities in the Graeco-Roman world. Healing played so prominent a
part in Jesus' ministry as depicted in the New Testament that it is
important to understand that aspect of his appeal in the context of
the ways in which it was understood by Greeks, Romans and Jews of
the time. Some saw sickness as the result of magic performed against
the victims by enemies, others as the work of demons. Some saw
health as the result of ordering life according to nature,
emphasising the beneficial effects of natural substances. Jewish
attitudes, for example, ranged widely over the centuries from
hostility towards physicians to regard for them as men endowed by
God with special knowledge for human benefit.
