This well researched book provides an interesting study of the
development of fever hospitals and fever nursing, mainly in
nineteenth and twentieth century Britain. It provides new insights
into the development of nursing roles and nurse education and looks
at the lives of key figures at that time. The text examines how
this once important branch of the nursing profession emerged in the
nineteenth century, only to be discarded in the second half of the
following century. Drawing on the work of Goffman and Foucault, the
study shows how, aided by medical advances, fever nurses
transformed their custodial duties into a therapeutic role and how
training schemes were implemented to improve the recruitment and
retention of nurses. As standards of living improved and patient's
chances of recovery increased, many fever hospitals became
redundant and fever nurses were no longer required. The wisdom of
creating fever hospitals and then disbanding them is questioned in
the light of changing disease patterns, international travel and
the threat posed by biological warfare.
