Farokh Erach Udwadia
Description
The mechanization of medicine has submerged, its humanism. The physician no longer ministers to a distinctive person but concern himself with a particular malfunctioning organ. The distressed patient is frequently forgotten or relegated to the background. A thought process is essential for discussing and understanding a symptom. This book, for the first time brings the doctor to the bedside of the patient for history, clinical examination, investigation, and finally the diagnosis.
This book discusses the art of medicine in a simple dialogue style- between the patient and the doctor- and shows through bedside teaching, the treatment of an illness or a disease, rather than the patient. This illustrated volume containing twenty case studies sensitizes the reader to look a patient holistically, not just the body, but mind and emotions too. This unique volume teaches medicinal science as an art of healing, where modern medicine is not just restricted to science and technology.
