Against the backdrop of unprecedented concern for the future of health care, this Very Short Introduction surveys the history of medicine from classical times, through the scholastic medieval tradition and the Enlightenment to the present day. Taking a thematic rather than strictly chronological approach, W.F. Bynum, explores the key turning points in the history of Western medicine-such as the first surgical procedures, the advent of hospitals, the introduction of anesthesia, X-Rays, vaccinations, and many other innovations, as well as the rise of experimental medicine. The book also explores Western medicine's encounters with Chinese and Indian medicine, as well as nontraditional treatments such as homeopathy, chiropractic, and other alternative medicines. Covering a vast amount of information, this Very Short Introduction sheds new light on medicine's past, while at the same time engaging with contemporary issues, discoveries, and controversies, such as the spiraling costs of health care, lack of health insurance for millions, breakthrough treatments, and much more. For readers who wish to understand the how we have arrived at our current state of medical practice and knowledge, this book is essential reading. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.Binding Type: Paperback

Such a pampering treat!
Color: Pink (PDRN)
Ok I love these!!! I’ve started using them almost every morning! They just feel like a little pamper before I start my day. They definitely tighten up my under eye and decrease puffiness. I try to leave them on for 25 min or so. Maybe not quite as good as the Peter Roth but I feel like I can use them frequently due to the reasonable price point and still see some results. I save the Peter Roth for a couple times a month. Definitely repurchasing these.

Hydrates well
Color: Pink (PDRN)
So far the product has been nice. My understanding is that eye area looks hydrated. It does not diminish the under eye bags. Have been using for a few weeks. Maybe I’ll give it more time to see better results.

I love theses eye patches so much! Not only are they very hydrating for the under eye but the price point is *chefs kiss*! They stay in place and do not slide all over your face. Super easy to use. 10/10

Eye patches that work
Color: Pink (PDRN)
Love them! Cooling to the eyes, easy to apply with no slipping. These eyes patches work and they’re great for the price. The only patches I’ll buy going forward. I just apply my eye cream first and then follow with the patches and you can definitely see the results once removing.
