Much in medicine which is now taken for granted was
undreamed of even as recently as 50 years ago.
Progress in diagnosis, in preventive medicine and in
treatment, both medical and surgical, has been so
rapid as to be almost breathtaking. Today a doctor
retiring from active practice will among other things
have seen smallpox completely eradicated,
tuberculosis become curable, coronary artery disease
relievable surgically. One aspect of medicine still
resistant to progress in understanding is the effect of
mind on body. Many of us still like to think that our
bodies are just something we have got into, like cars,
that ill health is simply something that has “gone
wrong” in one system or another and that therefore
provided we find the appropriate expert to correct the
fault, we will recover.
