Publisher's Synopsis
"The Physician Himself and What He Should Add to the Strictly Scientific" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of late 19th-century medical practice and the qualities deemed essential for a successful and ethical doctor. Daniel Webster Cathell's work goes beyond clinical knowledge, delving into the personal attributes, social graces, and moral character expected of physicians during this era. The book emphasizes the importance of bedside manner, patient communication, and the cultivation of trust between doctor and patient.
This volume provides valuable insights into the historical evolution of medical professionalism, highlighting the enduring relevance of empathy, integrity, and dedication in patient care. While medical science has advanced significantly, the fundamental principles of ethical conduct and compassionate practice discussed in "The Physician Himself" remain timeless and continue to resonate with healthcare professionals today.
