Medicine declared itself to be a scientific discipline in the 19th century, and radically cut off its former links with the Hippocratic-Galenic tradition after the French Revolution in 1789. Owing to the great progress made in physics and chemistry, these disciplines came to be regarded as the only ones capable of solving medical problems. ⋯ It was believed that medicine and science could solve all the world's problems, a belief that, in modern times, has been abandoned as invalid. We now need a new medical anthropology, or rather medicine that is anthropological in its thinking.
