Hughlings Jackson & Ophthalmoscope
نویسنده
چکیده
This is in a sense true, and the writing of this article would have been easier had I had the privilege of knowing the great man. There are, however, three types of great men, in medicine. The first achieves his greatness during his life by his clinical work and by his kindness and skill in curing and alleviating the sufferings of large numbers of patients. The second, in addition to his clinical work, or perhaps to the relative exclusion of it, leaves behind him various scientific treatises, papers and books in which are recorded the facts and theories which he has elucidated during life-very valuable reading to the searcher after knowledge, but containing no illumination of the character of the man who wrote them. The third type of great man leaves, in his writings, the stamp of his own personality. He is not content merely to record scientific findings, but gives in addition some of his own philosophy of life--explains his difficulties and puts the reader into possession of far more than he would have gained from perusal of an assembly of merely academic facts and theories.
