人类与自己身体谈判的历史 · Humanity Negotiating with Its Own Body

English

Medicine is the history of humanity negotiating with its own body. The currency of that negotiation has always been “not knowing” replaced, piece by piece, with “knowing a little more.” This column is not about any single remedy or drug. It follows the cognitive shifts in how humanity has understood the body, illness, and healing: infection, anesthesia, sterilization, the unseen microbes. Each step forward was bought by a trail of missteps, yet each brought a little less suffering and a little more certainty.

中文

医学的历史,是人类与自己身体谈判的历史。谈判的筹码,是一次次「不知道」被「知道一点」所取代。这个栏目不讲某种疗法或药物,它追踪人类看待身体、疾病与治疗方式的认知转变:感染、麻醉、消毒、看不见的微生物。每一次前进,背后都是一连串的误判,但每一步都换来了「少一点痛苦、多一点确定」。
