Summary "Landmarks Medical and Surgical" by Luther Holden and James Shuter is a medical textbook written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the anatomical landmarks crucial for clinical practice, particularly for students and practitioners of surgery and medicine. Its primary aim is to teach the importance of recognizing surface marks on the human body that signify deeper anatomical structures essential for diagnosis and surgical procedures. The opening of the work introduces the concept of "medical and surgical landmarks," emphasizing the importance for healthcare students to develop keen observational and tactile skills when examining the living body. It discusses the necessity of understanding the surface anatomy in relation to internal organs and structures, providing practical insights into identifying key features like bones, muscles, and vessels. The text encourages students to refine their skills in palpation and visual assessment, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of anatomical regions throughout the body.
