Abstract

Starting from the famous scholars, writings and important events that have played an important role in the development of clinical medicine, this paper systematically combs through the whole process of critical thinking in clinical medicine from its germination to its eventual disciplining and institutionalisation, with the aim of revealing the important role that critical thinking has played in breaking down the authority and pushing forward the advancement of medical sciences, as well as providing historical references for medical education and clinical practice.
