Abstract
For most physicians, the practice and experience of insurance medicine is completely unknown. This is because, over the past 50 years, insurance medicine has become completely disconnected from general medicine and has taken a separate position from it. While general medicine, at various eras of its brilliant development, has increasingly pushed aside those foundations on which old medicine rested, insurance medicine at this time was built on the two cardinal foundations of old medicine, namely, the doctrine of heredity and the doctrine of the constitution.
