The Pathology Of The Living: And Other Essays (1910) - Tapa blanda

Preface. In this volume are included a number of essays which have appeared in various medical journals during the last few years. Their republication in this form has been sanctioned at the request of many of my friends. I should perhaps have been a little diffident about the wisdom of this course if I did not feel that, however imperfectly, some of these papers present a fresh, perhaps even a new, view of many of the problems which are at present engaging the attention of the surgeon. The time has come, I think, when the surgeon must cast off some of the shackles by which he has been fettered for so many years. When research into the conditions within the abdomen has been conducted during the course of an operation, the fruits have been judged by the standard set up by the disclosures and by the statistics of the post-mortem room.
