The message of medical history to the future is: "Come clean."
It is true that some physicians are vain, self-seeking, of the prima donna type, and there be others of the medieval category of die Heilärzte welche heilen nicht, Heilärtze welche krank Machen.
The history of medicine is... the history of humanity itself, with its ups and downs, its brave aspirations after truth and finality, its pathetic failures. The subject may be treated variously as a pageant, an array of books, a procession of characters, a succession of theories, an exposition of human ineptitudes, or as the very bone and marrow of cultural history.
