V. P. Gibney The Hip and Its Diseases (Classic Reprint) internet üzerinden ibook

Excerpt from The Hip and Its DiseasesThe hospital is further known as an extremely conserva tive institution. Dr. Jas. Knight, its founder and surgeon in-chief, has been led by his extensive experience to adopt a plan of treatment which coincides, in many respects, with the definition I have elsewhere given of the term expectant.It will therefore be readily seen that the writer of this book has enjoyed unusual facilities for the study of the clinical history of bone and joint diseases. A large num ber of our cases in the wards are of this nature, and many remain in hospital for two or three years.The record of signs and symptoms as they occur has been made without any bias, and it is seldom that any interpreta tion even, of these changes appears on the books. My aim, in other words, has been to picture every case from its beginning to its close.Our case books, which now number several volumes, will show how well we have succeeded, and they will show too that the notes have been made by or at the dictation of myself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
