Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Clinical, scientific, and technologic aspects of medicine have evolved over more than 2000 years, and the study of lung function and pulmonary diseases has been an integral part of its growth and development*. About 3 centuries ago, progress toward scientific medicine accelerated markedly, and it has continued to gain speed ever since. In the 17th century, research and experimentation began to tilt clinical medicine toward the exact sciences; by the 18th century, pathology had become an integral part of clinical medicine, and clinical–pathologic correlations succeeded empiricism, dogmatism, and metaphysics. The age of the great clinicians dawned in Europe in the early 19th century, when autopsies became legal and socially acceptable, and when physicians who cared for patients actually performed the autopsies.
