Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:"In The Humor of Healing Dr. Johnson surveys Western medicine for the oddities, quackeries, idiocies, faux pas, gaffes, stumbles. tongue slips, no-noes, blunders, lapses, misfires, and plain old stupidities that appear from time to time in the practice of a science that has to be conducted as an art.Over a half a century's personal observation and an encyclopedic familiarity with the literature from the 17th century forward informs Dr. Johnson's work. Throughout the text he reveals the comforting and often self-deprecating humor of physicians of grand stature like Will Mayo as contrasted to the fear-fueled superstition of grim "healers." You'll be startled as he dissects Cotton Mather's apothecary horrors, fundamentalists grappling with sickness as sin, the sometimes diabolically clever folkway cures of the not-recently-enough-past to misogynist medical schools of forty or fifty years ago up to the psychobabble "healing" of our time with deft humor and compassion for practitioners who are, like most of us. doing the best they can within the limits imposed on us all by human frailty."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
