Excerpt from A Text-Book of Clinical Anatomy: For Students and Practitioners Many changes have taken place in the leaching of anatomy during the past twenty years. The rapid development of the various branches of practical medicine and surgery has necessitated a most thorough preparation in the fundamental subjects, such as anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and pathology. In the majority of our medical schools descriptive anatomy accompanied by dissections is taught during the first two years, and then the student feels that he may consider anatomy a closed chapter. In but few of the colleges is he taught to take a perspective view, or, in other words, to study Regional or Topographic Anatomy. He has spent many hours in the memorizing of nerves, arteries, veins, and the description of viscera, but he is unable to apply this knowledge to clinical work. The primary object of this book is to serve as a bridge for both practitioner and student from the descriptive anatomy, as it is usually taught in the first two years of a medical course, to its daily application at the bedside, in the clinic, or in the operating room. The term "Clinical Anatomy" seemed to be the most appropriate one to use to express the larger field which the subject covers. The term was first employed in this sense by Dr. A. D. Bevan, to convey the fact that clinical anatomy is anatomical knowledge as applied to every branch of clinical work - i. e., not only medicine and surgery in the narrower sense, but all the specialties. In teaching this subject to third year medical students the author felt the need of a text-book which should cover not only the surgical but also the medical portion of the subject, and he hopes that the work will not be found to have been written from the standpoint of the surgeon alone. An especial attempt has been made to encourage both practitioners and students to examine the normal human body during life, to palpate and outline structures, and to study the relations of nerves, vessels, viscera, etc., the knowledge of whose position is indispensable to every one engaged in the practice of medicine.
