Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rare and remarkable collection of verse written by a 19th-century physician, Dr. William Tod Helmuth. The author has composed a series of poems mostly on medical themes, ranging from humorous to serious topics such as diagnosis, ethics, and the nature of pain and illness. The author wrote the collection over his lifetime, with poems having been first published in medical journals and at gatherings from the 1840s through to the 1890s. Some of these poems are widely anthologized in medical publications and are still recited and referenced at medical school events. The book contains a foreword by the author in which he writes about his love of medicine and poetry, and his belief that both are essential to a well-rounded education. In this volume, the author provides insights into the medical profession, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and the challenges faced by doctors in the 19th century.
