This 1982 book examines the changes in hospital care in New York
that occurred around the turn of the twentieth century. It
represents a fundamental departure from traditional medical
history, which has usually emphasised 'progress' through science
and technology. Professor Rosner identifies the economic, political
and demographic pressures that brought about a reshaping of the
health care system, and analyses the dramatic reorganisation of
hospitals that took place. He also discusses major scientific
advances such as the discovery of anaesthetic properties of ether,
nitrous oxide and chloroform, and the consequent increase in
surgical solutions to medical problems.
