Description

Excerpt from Medical Sociology: A Series of Observations Touching Upon the Sociology of Health and the Relations of Medicine to Society This branch of learning concerns deeply individ uals and the public; but there is still much need of an awakening of the people and of the state to its sociologic significance. Society comes so closely in contact with the individual doctor on his mission of healing and relieving distresses both of a major and minor nature, that, regarding his work, beneficent as it is, as the typical activity of medical science, it has failed to look beyond and grasp the importance of medical knowledge and the medical profession as a whole, of which the individual practitioner is but an isolated, often imperfect, human expression. More over, the medical profession has failed to place suffi cient confidence in the public, and has kept itself aloof, and denied the people important knowledge which could be of service to them. This medical aloofness has been prompted by the fear that a little knowledge might do more harm than good, and by the ethical desire not to be misunderstood or charged with self-exploitation.
