Project Gutenberg 2010-12-11 Public domain in the USA. 37 Morganti, Bento 1709 Sustos da Vida nos Perigos da Cura Produced by Mike Silva "Sustos da Vida nos Perigos da Cura" by Bento Morganti is a medical treatise written during the mid-18th century. The book is constructed as a letter from one friend to another, discussing the author's personal experiences and concerns regarding the efficacy and safety of medical practices of the time. The primary focus is on the potential dangers associated with medical treatments and the ignorance that can lead to harm rather than healing. In this work, the author recounts his own illness and the mistakes made by physicians that nearly cost him his life. He reflects on the three types of illnesses—curable, incurable, and indifferent—arguing that the lack of knowledge among many practitioners can result in greater risk to patients. Morganti asserts that true medical skill lies not just in the application of remedies, but also in the critical understanding of their effects and the ability to differentiate between actual ailments and mere symptoms. The letter serves as a cautionary tale urging readers to be careful in choosing their medical practitioners and to consider the implications of submitting to medical intervention. Ultimately, it promotes a skeptical view of medical authority while advocating for a more measured and informed approach to health care.
