Medicine in the Industrial World

by John D. Clare
part of the "The History of Medicine" series
PRMS hardcover 62 pages
genre: non-fiction

I initially picked this up after I checked out my Florence Nightingale book to a student and wanted an example for doing bibliographies. Then I checked it out because I was curious. Some of it was super interesting. Some was familiar info. Some stuff bugged me, like the author basically saying Nightingale was a "creation of the newspapers." Wow. He completely dissed her contributions in the field of medicine.
