Career destinations seven years on among doctors who qualified in the United Kingdom in 1988: postal questionnaire survey. • Lambert TW, Goldacre MJ. • UK Medical Careers Research Group, Unit of Health-Care Epidemiology, Department of Public Health, University of Oxford, UK. trevor.lambert@public-health.oxford.ac.uk • Comment in: • OBJECTIVE: To report the career choices and career destinations in 1995 of doctors who qualified in the United Kingdom in 1988. DESIGN: Postal questionnaire. • SETTING: United Kingdom. SUBJECTS: All doctors who qualified in the United Kingdom in 1988. • MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Current employment. • RESULTS: Of the 3724 doctors who were sent questionnaires, eight had died and three declined to participate.Of the remaining 3713 doctors, 2885 (77.7%) replied. 16.9% (608/3593; 95% confidence interval 16.1% to 17.8%) of all 1988 qualifiers from medical schools in Great Britain were not working in the NHS in Great Britain in 1995 compared with 17.0% (624/3674; 16.1% to 17.9%) of the 1983 cohort in 1990. The proportion of doctors working in general practice was lower than in previous cohorts. The percentage of women in general practice (44.3% (528/1192)) substantially exceeded that of men (33.1% (443/1340)). 53% (276/522) of the women in general practice and 20% (98/490) of the women in hospital specialties worked part time. • CONCLUSIONS: Concerns about recruitment difficulties in general practice are justified. Women are now entering general practice in greater numbers than men. There is no evidence of a greater exodus from the NHS from the 1988 qualifiers than from earlier cohorts.

Medicine in medieval age • In Islamic tradition, the origins of Islamic medicine can be traced back to the time of Prophet Muhammad, as a significant number of hadiths concerning medicine are attributed to him. • Several Sahaba are said to have been successfully treated of certain diseases by following the medical advice of Muhammad. • The three methods of healing known to have been mentioned by him were honey, Hijama (wet cupping), and cauterization, though he was generally opposed to the use of cauteri- zation unless it "suits the ailment."
Medicine in medieval age • Prophet Muhammad appears to be the first recorded as directly stating that there is always a cause and a cure for every disease, according to several hadiths in the Sahih al-Bukhari, Sunan Abi Dawood and Al-Muwatta attributed to Prophet Muhammad, such as:
The meaning of Hadith: • "There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its treatment."[7] • "Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of one disease, name was old age."[8] • "Allah has sent down both the disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves medically."[9] • "The one who sent down the disease sent down the remedy."[10] • "For every disease, Allah has given a cure."[6]
Medicine in medieval age • Wikipedia has quoted a list of contributors in Medicine during Medieval age: • Ali ibn Sahl Rabban al-Tabari's • Muhammad ibn Zakarīya Rāzi (Rhazes) • Ali ibn Abbas (Haly Abbas)'s • Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis), • Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī's • Ibn Al-Thahabi • Ibn al-Nafis (1213–1288) • Şerafeddin Sabuncuoğlu's surgical atlas, • Avicenna (Ibn Sina),
Medicine in medieval age • George Sarton, the father of the history of science, wrote in the Introduction to the History of Science: • "Through their medical investigations they not merely widened the horizons of medicine, but enlarged humanistic concepts generally. [...] Thus it can hardly have been accidental that those researches should have led them that were inevitably beyond the reach of Greek masters. If it is regarded as symbolic that the most spectacular achievement of the mid-twentieth century is atomic fission and the nuclear bomb, likewise it would not seem fortuitous that the early Muslim's medical endeavor should have led to a discovery that was quite as revolutionary though possibly more beneficent."
Medicine in medieval age • "One of the most famous exponents of Muslim universalism and an eminent figure in Islamic learning was Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna (981-1037). For a thousand years he has retained his original renown as one of the greatest thinkers and medical scholars in history. His most important medical works are the Qanun (Canon) and a treatise on cardiac drugs. The 'Qanun fi-l-Tibb' is an immense encyclopedia of medicine. It contains some of the most illuminating thoughts pertaining to distinction of mediastinitis from pleurisy; contagious nature of phthisis; distribution of diseases by water and soil; careful description of skin troubles; of sexual diseases and perversions; of nervous ailments."
