Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of clinical research cases that occurred in the mid-19th century. The cases primarily focus on a new method of performing a rarely used procedure called 'transfusion', where blood from a healthy individual is directly passed into a patient's vein to restore their blood volume. The author, a physician, presents the cases as a means to discuss the causes and potential treatments for blood loss in obstetric patients. He argues that although transfusion has the potential to be an effective treatment, the success rate depends on the cause of the blood loss and the timing of the procedure. The author suggests a new method for performing the procedure that reduces clotting during the operation, which he believes will increase the viability of the procedure. The book also discusses the debate around the nature of disease. While some diseases are caused by an external force like a virus or bacteria, others can be caused by internal factors like a person's tendency to develop nervous disorders. The author underscores the importance of understanding the specific cause of a disease for effective treatment.
