What is a good doctor? From the 12th to the 19th century the doctor was mostly an intellectual largely restricted to observing and describing symptoms and diseases. The 19th century saw the beginning of scientific insight into the causes of diseases. However, the primary objective of medical science is not to collect knowledge but to promote health. This involves both knowledge and art. Both arise from talent and education and are best achieved by early practical introduction to the basic subjects and scientific research, and during contacts with prominent teachers.
什么是好医生？从12世纪到19世纪，医生大多是知识分子，主要局限于观察和描述症状及疾病。19世纪见证了对疾病病因的科学洞察的开端。然而，医学科学的主要目标不是收集知识，而是促进健康。这既涉及知识又涉及技艺。两者都源于天赋和教育，最好通过早期实际接触基础学科和科研，并在与杰出教师的接触中得以实现。
