This book, originally published in 2007, is an unusual history of
doctors trained in Britain in the last quarter of the nineteenth
century, and their careers in Britain and the empire. Anne Crowther
and Marguerite Dupree describe the experience of a whole generation
of doctors at a time of rapid changes in medical knowledge. Amongst
them were Sophia Jex-Blake and the first group of medical women in
Britain. Many became disciples of Joseph Lister as he trained them
in his new methods of antiseptic surgery. Surgery was not confined
to specialists, and Lister's methods were adapted to suit hospitals
and households, peace and war. The medical schools were tools of
the Empire, sending students into general practice, military
service, the mission fields, high-class consultancies and
homeopathy in many lands. The book highlights the importance of
medical networks - both male and female - and shows how doctors
adapted to new methods in their profession.
