Description

Book Synopsis
In a concluding chapter he applies the book's historical insights to medical practice today-asking why, for example, modern diagnostic tests have not been used to give doctors more time to spend with patients.

Trade Review
[Howell's] early twentieth-century portrait is fresh and important, as an analysis of medical practice just coming to grips with the technological world. Nature I recommend this delightful book to anyone interested in the history of medicine. -- Seymour Perry New England Journal of Medicine
