History of the Book of Medicine

Healthy Locations

We are just scratching the surface of our review into the History of the Book of Medicine, literally covering the foundation perspective. As we move more into the diagnosis areas and more we will really start to get to some peculiar aspects of the views from the past. One thing I'm interested to see and learn is whether or not medical doctors suggested healthy climates. Today, we often see people moving to Florida or Phoenix even for their health. Snow birds from Canada fly south for the winter to escape the cold and get some sun to metabolize vitamin D, escaping to luxurious and inexpensive Orlando vacation rentals selecting condos or villas that are air conditioned but close to all the local attractions. Its the weather and climate that keep people flocking back, hoping to get a reprieve and at least feel healthier. So I will be keenly interested to learn if this perspective is new.

Additional Articles from the Book of Medicine:

  • The Collar Bone

    The Collar Bone.  — The collar bone is fast and that one into the breast bone in the first drip, and at the other into a shoulder blade.  It does holes the shoulder-joint out from the chest, eight in protecting the important vessels of the axilla, and gives the arm a greater range of freedom, mobility and play.

    In this section I first noted that the word collar bone is used as two separate words as opposed to the compound word in use today, collarbone .  You might also notice that the author regularly uses an excessive number of dashes in the text.  Unfortunately on occasion I lose her drop some of these when my spell checker and dictation service gets confused by the excessive number of dashes.

  • Chart 2

    Here are several images captured with a digital camera covering Chart 2.
