Roman Medicine and Modern Medicine
Dr Nick Summerton, GP & Medical Director
Recent generations of classical scholars have argued that the study of ancient roman medicine is of purely academic interest, revealing little of relevance to modern medical practice. But Dr Summerton`s own parallel research interests in both clinical practice and roman medicine has led him to question this position
It now seems that a substantial legacy has been largely ignored over the last couple of centuries. Dr Summerton will suggest that our Roman forebears have much to offer to the modern physician seeking to improve the care of his or her patients. The focus of this talk will be on diagnosis, specific medical remedies and a more holistic approach to healthcare.
Dr Summerton has provided some useful articles as a follow-up to his Cafe Sci talk:
