Overview
Importance of Historical Perspective
The importance of historical perspective lies in the fact that our current understanding of pathophysiology, classifications and management strategies is influenced by past hypotheses and scientific contributions, which have also shaped our current practice trends. [1]
Origin
The term is derived from Greek and refers to a flash, a term used by Hippocrates to designate a fever of sudden onset.[2]
