Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. A Manual of Medicine volume 4 by William Henry Allchin explores the technical and nuanced world of medicine and medical practices. Allchin does a fair job of using detail and specifics to illustrate even the most basic concepts for all levels of understanding. With a background in primary medicine, Allchin covers all sorts of systems and diseases in this series, however, this volume specifically covers diseases of the respiratory system and of the circulatory system.
The text begins with the general anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system and continues with a detailed account of lung diseases by areas of the respiratory system affected (such as upper, lower, larynx, and lungs). The latter half of the text covers the general anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system as well as the litany of possible diseases including a lengthy examination of cardiovascular disease. The book also takes care to examine not only practice, but also prognosis--stipulating the possible treatment and longevity of patients with different diagnoses.
A Manual of Medicine provides the kind of precise information necessary for the diagnostician and interesting to the layman reader. It's a perfect book for individuals interested in both respiratory system and vascular system diseases, those interested in both basic and complex medical practice, and anyone who wants to explore especially historical medicine and medical treatment. This book should not be used in place of a modern medical practitioner however, as modern medicine has moved on considerably since its initial publication.
