Excerpt from The Medical Graduate and His Needs
The following production, although small in compass, is the result of a good deal of observation and reflection.
It is now years ago that the author first observed that, in common with all young physicians on their entrance into practice, he constantly encountered certain difficulties respecting which neither his Alma Mater nor the books had taught him anything. However, these difficulties were not owing to a positive want of professional acquirements, but wholly to an unqualifiedness to use them to the best advantage. With a view to self-improvement he began to note down, as occasion in his own practice and that of others suggested, specifically all such of the more important and elementary difficulties as appeared to him not to have sufficiently attracted attention, adding, at the same time, such hints, cautions, and specific directions as his judgment suggested. The fruit of this labor is this little volume. Its being the only one of the kind, may serve as its raison d'etre. The customary challenge, "Why do ye spend money and time for that which is not bread?" does not apply to it.
Although designed chiefly for students and young practitioners, it can be read with profit by "children of a larger growth."
