Davidson Medicine Book
Davidson’s Principles and Practice of Medicine famous textbook was the brainchild of one of the great Professors of Medicine of the 20th century. Stanley Davidson was born in Sri Lanka and began his medical undergraduate training at Trinity College, Cambridge; this was interrupted by World War I and later resumed in Edinburgh. He was seriously wounded in battle, and the carnage and shocking waste of young life that he encountered at that time had a profound effect on his subsequent attitudes and values.
In 1930 Stanley Davidson was appointed Professor of Medicine at the University of Aberdeen, one of the rst full-time Chairs of Medicine anywhere and the rst in Scotland. In 1938 he took up the Chair of Medicine at Edinburgh and was to remain in this post until retirement in 1959. He was a renowned educator and a particularly gifted teacher at the bedside, where he taught that everything had to be questioned and explained. He personally gave most of the systematic lectures in Medicine, which were made available as typewritten notes that empha- sised the essentials and far surpassed any textbook available at the time.
