A Doctor's Table Talk (1912)

A Doctor's Table Talk is a collection of essays written by James Gregory Mumford, a physician and medical professor in the early 20th century. The book is divided into three parts, each containing essays on a different topic related to medicine and healthcare. In the first part, Mumford discusses the importance of preventative medicine and the role of the physician in promoting healthy habits and lifestyles. He also explores the history of medicine and the evolution of medical practices over time. The second part of the book focuses on specific medical conditions and their treatment. Mumford covers topics such as infectious diseases, mental illness, and the use of drugs in medicine. The final section of the book addresses broader issues related to healthcare, including medical ethics, the role of government in healthcare, and the relationship between doctors and their patients. Throughout the book, Mumford emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to medicine, taking into account not only the physical symptoms of a patient but also their emotional and social well-being. He also stresses the need for ongoing education and research in the medical field to improve patient outcomes. Overall, A Doctor's Table Talk provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of medicine in the early 20th century and offers insights that are still relevant to healthcare today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
