  • MediaDB / «On a nervous basis: educational medical mythology" Pavel Brand: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2019 / The most common phrase that probably every doctor hears from his patients is “Well, you took the Hippocratic oath! " Oddly enough, the Hippocratic Oath itself is a medical myth. This myth of the oath, like many other medical-related rumors and established beliefs, has firmly taken root in the consciousness of the masses. It is with the Hippocratic Oath that I would like to begin my story about medical mythology, because myths about medicine are shared both by those who are being treated and, oddly enough, sometimes by those who are treating. We will talk about whether the statement “all diseases are from nerves” is really true, we will discuss the causes and consequences of dizziness, we will understand the characteristics of headaches and back pain, we will touch on the topic of strokes and epilepsy, and we will determine whether you can trust the principles of evidence-based medicine. Many people know about neurological problems, but not everyone is able to heed the voice of reason, find a competent doctor and determine the correct treatment. Therefore, I hope that my book will help highlight the main thing in the huge information flow - what you need to maintain your health. Know more and live better!
