I totally agree with your point. I think it should be required reading for
any aspiring medical student to show the frail foundations of modern
medicine and that doctors were not always seen as gods...

Roy Porter's book The Greatest Benefit to Mankind is well worth reading.
OK so it is the history of medicine, but I think it illuminates current
