| Description: |
Poet, philosopher, novelist and physician, Professor Raymond Tallis is one of the world's foremost scientific philosophers. In this book, for the first time, he brings together his diverse intellectual interests to address profoundly important questions about our well being. |
| Synopsis: |
In Hippocratic oaths the physician and philosopher Raymond Tallis yokes together his diverse intellectual interests to address important questions about our well-being. In a series of stimulating and impassioned arguments he establishes the truth about, among many other things, recent health scares, explains why patients compete for our doctors' and nurses' time; why the exploding popularity of alternative therapies is actually bad for our health; and how one man's view of the MMR vaccine influenced a nation. Hippocratic Oaths is the summation of a lifetime's thought and medical practice, by one of Britain's most original thinkers. It will, quite simply, change for ever the way we think about ourselves and our health. |
