From the Preface
I have heard it said that to have no history is like having no memory. Doctors appreciate how important it is to find out the history of a patient’s illness. It is almost impossible to determine the diagnosis (the cause) and the prognosis (the expected outcome) without a proper history. In the same way, not appreciating the history of the medical services, the context of life then, and the diseases the medical profession faced, can be compared to having blinkers. They obscure our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of our medical system today. We may lose sight of what opportunities and challenges lie before us as a nation.
