This book offers an introduction to the history ofuniversity-trained physicians from the middle ages to theeighteenth-century Enlightenment. These were the elite, inreputation and rewards, and they were successful. Yet we can formlittle idea of their clinical effectiveness, and to modern eyestheir theory and practice often seems bizarre. But the historicalevidence is that they were judged on other criteria, and theargument of this book is that these physicians helped to constructthe expectations of society - and met them accordingly. The mainfocus is on the European Latin tradition of medicine, reconstructedfrom ancient sources and relying heavily on natural philosophy forits explanatory power. This philosophy collapsed in the 'scientificrevolution', and left the learned and rational doctor in crisis.The book concludes with an examination of how this crisis was met -or avoided - in different parts of Europe during theEnlightenment.
