About the book: year / "When will the time finally come when you won’t have to cry because the day is not made of 40 hours? ... I work like the last day laborer,” Sergei Petrovich Botkin lamented. Today we can say with confidence that his labors were not in vain. As a participant in the Crimean War, he was the first to propose a system for organizing care for wounded soldiers and became the founder of Russian military surgery. It was he who described Botkin's disease and created the Russian Epidemiological Society to combat infectious diseases and epidemics of plague, cholera and smallpox. Sergei Petrovich opened the first women's treatment courses in Russia, was the first to use a thermometer to determine a person's temperature, and developed a hygiene system for doctors. In this book, Sergei Petrovich talks about the most difficult and interesting cases that he encountered during medical practice, and also talks about how to talk with a patient, what you should pay attention to first, and how to build a patient treatment system.
