Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Diseases of Bones and Joints Acquire knowledge, however, by this kind of teaching is a slow process, so tedious that few students appreciate the advantage of watching a patient day by day to his recovery, or to the examination which is made after death. Nevertheless, there can be no question that experience acquired in this way is the only true foundation upon which a young medical man can safely rely during his professional career. My aim has been to lead my pupils, by the exercise of their sight, touch, and hearing, to gain a practical knowledge of surgery, which in systematic lectures or books they can only imperfectly receive from the description of others.
