"Starting from the assumption that one can learn from the past," .... "Isensee" ... "primarily attributed an educational function to medical history. In the medical curriculum, they wanted to offer the historyof civilization condensed in the history of medicine. This would not only make the student a betterphysician, but a valuable and right-minded member of society as well. Because the student couldprofit from the dicoveries and mistakes of his predecessors, he would have a head start from which humanity as a whole would profit"(Frank Huisman, Shaping the Medical Market: On the Construction of Quackery and Folk Medicine in Dutch Historiography in Medical History, 43 (1999), p. 362.).
