520    Presents a brief yet authoritative 500-year history of the
       science, the philosophy, and the controversies of modern 
       medicine. While this work mainly explores Western medicine,
       González-Crussi also describes how modern medicine's roots
       extend to both Greco-Roman antiquity and Eastern medical 
       traditions. Covered in detail are the birth of anatomy and
       the practice of dissections; the transformation of surgery
       from a gruesome art to a sophisticated medical specialty; 
       a short history of infectious diseases; the evolution of 
       the diagnostic process; advances in obstetrics and 
       anesthesia; and modern psychiatric therapies and the 
       challenges facing organized medicine today. González-
       Crussi's approach to these and other topics stems from his
       professed belief that the history of medicine isn't just a
       continuum of scientific achievement but is deeply 
       influenced by the personalities of the men and women who 
       made or implemented these breakthroughs.--From publisher
