Mark E. Silverman

‘The hand and the heart’ (Am J Cardiol, 1968 Nov;22(5):718-28), in which he put forward the idea that certain heart conditions manifested in abnormalities of the hand. The article begins with a quote from James Bond and emphasises a Sherlock Holmesian approach to bedside medicine.[1]. Mark E. Silverman and Dr. J. Willis Hurst of Atlanta's Emory University School of Medicine presented their latest hand-and-heart findings to the American College of Cardiology...The hand is a valuable clue not only to a man's occupation and habits, but also, in many cases, to the condition of his heart.[2]

    • In 1998, Silverman and his wife, Diana, spent a six-month sabbatical in London, researching British medical history as an academic fellow at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine. [Apparently, this is mentioned twice in the article, but only the second mention is a copyvio]
    • All other potential violations are merely repetitions of names.

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but in the hook you are quoting the "Sherlock Holmesian approach" from the source without using quote marks, while this term does not appear in the article at all; there you paraphrase it as "in the method of Sherlock Holmes" (which doesn't really make sense; it would be better to quote the source).

All should be OK now. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:46, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I added your link to the hook. Restoring tick per epicgenius' review. Yoninah (talk) 19:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
