Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials of Medical Electricity for Medical Students and Nurses
The use of electricity in medical practice dates from the time of Benjamin Franklin. Like the begin mings of nearly all forms of therapy, electricity was first used in an very empirical way, and even in later years, when the physiologic basis of its effects were being worked out, grossly exaggerated claims were made for its therapeutic value, and, unfortunately, are still made by many who have taken up the exclusive practice of electrotherapy.
