Apartheid – page 110 “Then as now, glory followed the ability to be the first
to identify and treat a condition or disorder. Publication was important to a
physician’s career in 1800s and 1900s as it is today.” Page 112 “The results of
exploiting the “clinical material” was a damping of the sensitivity ….The
dehumanizing effects of their training might easily have deformed their
altruism.”
It seems the advances in medicine have not really
changed things. The doctors today display
many of the traits spoken in the above quotes from our text book. How sad that medicine has not learned
anything overtime regarding the humane treatment of patientsJoyce Abbott
