    In his book, A Concise Chronicle of Human Disease, Andrew Knox describes the comprehensive detail of medicine and surgery, from Hippocrates to the present day. In this insightful exploration, the evolution of medicine and surgery is traced from their distinct beginnings, to the complex and intertwined practices we recognize today. Beginning with the pioneering work of Hippocrates, who famously distinguished between the roles of the physician and the surgeon, this book delves into the shifting lines between these fields throughout history. This book carefully separates the two disciplines to highlight their unique histories and their critical contributions to the advancement of healthcare.
