Project Gutenberg 2004-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 73 Ellis, John 1815 1896 Personal Experience of a Physician Produced by Avinash Kothare, Tom Allen, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Personal Experience of a Physician" by John Ellis, M.D. is a reflective medical narrative written in the late 19th century. The work recounts Ellis's journey through the medical profession, touching on both his personal medical experiences and his exploration into alternative treatment methods, particularly homoeopathy. The text likely serves as both an autobiographical account and a treatise advocating for a deeper examination of medical practices and beliefs, particularly the value of homoeopathic remedies. The opening of the narrative begins with Ellis emphasizing the importance of thorough education and self-investigation for physicians, noting that they hold the lives of their patients in their hands. He shares his initial skepticism regarding homoeopathy, sparked by conversations with a fellow physician, leading him to experiment with its treatments on his patients in western Massachusetts. As he narrates his early encounters with homoeopathy, he highlights several case studies that showcase its efficacy compared to allopathic methods, ultimately suggesting a shift in his medical practice towards homoeopathy. The beginning establishes not only his personal experiences in the field but also sets the stage for a broader critique of traditional medical practices. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
