Book excerpt: Modern medicine in England as we know it today is chiefly the product of the scientific developments of the nineteenth century. These advances included improved sanitation, the acceptance of the germ theory of disease as a result of the emergence of microbiology, and the advent of painless and routine surgical procedures. How then did medicine evolve in Lancaster during the nineteenth century? The focus here is the history of medicine in Lancaster and a community of practice amongst a few medical professionals who shaped Lancaster’s medical landscape. The reader will be introduced to these remarkable medical men and their names will gradually become familiar. Many of these individuals were second and even third generation surgeons and physicians. Background to these pioneers, as well as their successes and failures, is sketched within the context of Lancaster’s socio-economic environment and growth as an industrial town. This volume also marks the main medical events in Lancaster, including the establishment of a Dispensary, which evolved into the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, the Public Health movement and the rise of the Asylums.

Book excerpt: For 40 years, Dr. James Miles Langstaff (1825-89) practiced general medicine in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and kept meticulous records on every patient. Duffin's (history of medicine, Queen's U.) investigation of this average 19th-century doctor's reaction to the medical innovations (anesthesia, antisepsis, germ theory, and public health) that dramatically transformed his practice, also yields a detailed picture of sickness and injury, addiction and mental illness, birth and death in a small farming community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Charles Bell was among the last of a generation medical men who formed their careers, their research, and their publications through the private classrooms of early-nineteenth-century London; whose ambitions for reform were fundamentally about conserving something quintessentially British; and whose politics were shaped by the exigencies of developing a living through various kinds of patronage in a time when careers in medical science simply did not exist. Within a decade or two that world was gone. Professionalization and regularized educationthe ambitions of reformershad been realized, along with regular career paths. With that change, the classroom shattered, its functions divided among other spaces, each with its own audience and function: the laboratory, the clinic, the classroom. They are the spaces of modern medicine, the ones we recognize today, and we see them as the hallmark of medical science. Through Bell s story, artfully told by the author, we witness medical science and medical reform in London s classrooms at a time when modern medicine, with its practical universities with set curricula, staffed by medical professionals, was being born.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Worth physicians fought and overcame enemies too small to be seen with the naked eye. This is their story. In 1853 settler Julian Field needed a doctor. Carroll M. Peck responded and became the first civilian doctor at the old fort. From the first he and others rode horseback, and later drove Model Ts, as they ministered to the sick. Along the way they established a health care system that drew patients from across the state and nation. Nuns came from San Antonio to create St. Joseph Hospital, thus replacing kitchen table surgeries with well-equipped operating rooms. From these humble beginnings, dedicated and inovative men and women saved lives and endeared themselves to grateful patients. History is more than dates and battles. It is the chronicle of people and their impact on the lives of others. This book salutes medical pioneers, past and present.
