Landmarks Medical and Surgical

"Landmarks Medical and Surgical" by Luther Holden is an educational book that highlights the critical role of anatomical landmarks in the medical field, mainly for those learning to become surgeons and doctors. The book stresses how important it is for healthcare students to get good at seeing and feeling different body parts when they check patients. It explains that knowing where things are on the surface of the body helps to identify and treat internal organs. The work encourages students to become skilled at touching and looking closely to find important features like bones, muscles, and blood vessels. The book aims to give practical knowledge about finding these landmarks all over the body, which is necessary for medical students to effectively diagnose and perform surgical procedures.
