By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doctors: The History of Scientific Medicine Revealed Through Biography (DVDs) (The Teaching Company) (The Great Courses) (DVD)
Doctors: The History Of Scientific Medicine Revealed Through Biography is a twelve lecture DVD series by Sherwin B. Nuland (Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Yale School of Medicine and Fellow of the Yale University Institution for Social and Policy Studies). Each of these twelve 30 minute lectures provides an overview description of key personalities and their contributions to the history and development of medicine from antiquity down to the twentieth century. The lectures include: Hippocrates and the origins of Western Medicine; The Paradox of Galen; Vesalius and the Renaissance of Medicine; Harvey, Discoverer of the Circulation; Morgagni and the Anatomy of Disease; Hunter, the Surgeon as Scientist; Laennec and the Invention of the Stethoscope; Morton and the Origins of Anesthesia; Virchow and the Cellular Origins of Disease, Lister and the Germ Theory; Halsted and American Medical Education; and the series concludes with Taussig and the Development of Cardiac Surgery. Professor Nuland's deliver is articulate, expert, engaging, informed and informative. Doctors is an ideal addition to highschool, college, and university History of Medicine reference and curriculum supplementation materials, as well as appropriate for homeschooling curriculums and community library DVD collections.
