Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores preventive medicineâs evolution from academic discussion into practical application. The author argues that a general, compulsory medical education, based on anatomy, physiology, pathology, and hygiene, is necessary for preventive medicine to achieve its full potential, and that diffusion of this knowledge needs to be spread across all levels of society. The author raises concerns about urgent issues like sanitation issues, overcrowding, and social ignorance as they relate to the spread of disease. The author also covers topics such as the importance of treating congenital imperfections, dispelling misconceptions about premarital sex, and discusses the waste of teaching in schools where 90 percent of what students learn is soon forgotten. Ultimately, the book offers a blueprint for educating the public and medical professionals so that they can work together to prevent and cure all diseases, ultimately achieving a higher standard of living for all.
