      abstract = {Medical history offers us many wise thoughts, a few  misguided notions, and a host of intriguing back-stories.  On the Shoulders of Medicineℓ́ℓs Giants presents a  selection of these, and tells how the words of  medicineℓ́ℓs ℓ́ℓgiantsℓ́ℓℓ́ℓsuch as  Hippocrates, Sir William Osler, Francis Weld Peabody, and  Elizabeth K©ơbler-Rossℓ́ℓare relevant to medical  science and practice in the 21st century. Which physician  was the inspiration for the fictional character Sherlock  Holmes, and what did he identify as ℓ́ℓthe real  essential factor in all successful medical  diagnosesℓ́ℓ? What did Sigmund Freud describe as his  ℓ́ℓtyrant,ℓ́ℓ and what might this mean for  doctors today? Do you know the attributed source of the  well-known aphorism about horses and zebras, and what we  believe this physician actually said? This book answers  these questions and more, while also providing fascinating  tales about each individual quoted. On the Shoulders of  Medicineℓ́ℓs Giants is recommended for practicing  physicians, students, and residents, as well as nurse  practitioners, physician assistants, and anyone involved in  patient care who wants to understand the historical and  epistemological foundations of what we do each day in  practice.℗ℓ Robert B. Taylor, MD is the author and  editor of more than 30 medical books and several hundred  published articles, as well as a veteran of rural private  practice and, later, chairmanship of a major medical school  department.},
