Doctor and Patient

Synopsis

Doctor and Patient is a collection of essays on medical professions written by S. Weir Mitchell, who was  Member Of The United States National Academy Of Sciences, President Of The College Of Physicians Of Philadelphia, Physician To The Orthopædic Hospital And Infirmary For Nervous Diseases.

Introduction: The essays which compose this volume deal chiefly with a variety of subjects to which every physician must have given more or less thought. Some of them touch on matters concerning the mutual relation of physician and patient, but are meant to interest and instruct the laity rather than the medical attendant. The larger number have from their nature a closer relation to the needs of women than of men.
