Excerpt from Human Physiology: Analysis and Digest, for the Use of Medical Students and Practitioners
A common sense man says, give me a lawyer thoroughly versed in the law and I will trust my case to him. Can a lawyer ignorant of the law know when he does harm to his case? Certainly not. It is exactly the same with the physician. The practitioner, ignor ant of the laws of human life, may be not inaptly compared to a blind bird; it may find the grain on the way-side, but the chances are against it.
The greatest responsibility falls on the medical college faculty or officers, who supply the chair of physiology with simply a book worm. In fact, it seems very often as if any physician is thought competent to fill that chair as Professor, provided he is able to talk the houraway two or three times a week. Such a Professor cares little whether the student has fully understood him or not, or in fact whether he has understood him at all: for, if he did he would not allow students, as very often happens, to cram a few dozen questions and answers for what is termed Examination, and then dispense with physiology for the balance of the College course.
It has often been publicly remarked, that no two physicians agree in regard to treatment. Why is this? Because if all physicians were thoroughly educated in physiology they would know posi tively what is required, and there would be no difference of opinion in treatment. Then the treatment of human beings would be truly scientific, but it cannot be without that knowledge. Physiology is no longer guess work; it is as positive as any other science, and the physician who does not know the Laws of life is either at fault him self or the blame falls back on his teacher. It is not due to the J science.
