Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Consecratio Medici" is a profound collection of addresses and essays by the pioneering neurosurgeon Harvey Cushing. These writings provide a rare glimpse into the philosophical and ethical foundations of the medical profession during a transformative era in clinical practice. The work explores the deep historical roots of medicine, the essential humanism required of the physician, and the evolving challenges of medical education and research. Through his elegant prose, Cushing reflects on the lives of legendary medical figures such as Sir William Osler, the importance of books and libraries in the physician's life, and the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. These essays serve as both a historical record of early 20th-century medicine and a timeless meditation on the 'consecration' or dedication required of those who enter the healing arts. "Consecratio Medici" remains an essential read for students of medical history, practitioners, and anyone interested in the intersection of science and the humanities.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
