This book answers those questions for a wide range of diseases, from Abetalipoproteinemia to Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. What were the medical practitioners of previous generations hoping to achieve? What were their patients expecting of them? The answers are found in these quotations.Containing over 3,000 entries, and now updated with more than 450 new quotations, this new edition of Medicine in Quotations is the most comprehensive collection of its type published in over 30 years. It is much more than a random collection of famous sayings relating to sickness and health, disease and treatment; it is a portrait of medicine throughout recorded history. You will discover how medical concepts and practices have developed and shifted through the millennia, and how many illnesses recognized today were first identified a thousand or more years ago. Quotations are organized by topic, and each is fully referenced, allowing curious readers to return to the original source. Subject and author indices make it easy to find quotations of interest. Medicine in Quotations is an invaluable resource for writers, speakers, and all those interested in the history of medicine."; 10.1 X 7.1 X 1.8 inches; 581 pages. Seller Inventory # 23192

Store Description
We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web
sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as
Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund
within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. If you've changed your mind about a
book that you've ordered, please use the Ask bookseller a question link to contact

Our minimum shipping fee is $3.99 and also includes all handling and packaging fees. All book orders are packaged in cardboard shipping boxes made especially for books so you can rest assured your book arrives in the same condition it was described and left our facility. We ship books daily on business day and are often able to get them out on Saturdays as well. Domestic shipping is usually shipped standard media mail. We use software which automatically assigns the four digit extension on all zip codes which speeds up delivery considerably. If weight allows, we will also choose first class delivery over media mail. All orders receive a tracking number which is logged on to your order with AbeBooks on the website which will allow you to follow your order as it makes its way to you.
On foreign orders, we ship using the U.S. Postal Service. We DO NOT profit on Shipping and handling fees. We charge you our cost for the shipping as determined by the U.S. Postal Service with an additional $1 to $2 for packaging materials. Although our prices are listed for shipping, if you are overcharged through the checkout process, we will refund your account for the overage. All international orders over 4 pounds are required to be shipped priority international mail by the U.S. Postal Service. We have no control over this and you may find the costs for shipping a heavy book prohibitive. If, however, you order a smaller or lighter book from us, we will make an effort to box it and enclose it in a priority flat rate envelope. If we can do so and ship it to you for less than the first class international postage, we will do so and refund the difference to you.
We make every effort to serve you as we would like to be served. This is a lengthy entry, but we hope it has helped.
