This book is not about one glorious triumph after another, nor is
it a series of complaints about doctors and hospitals. Rather,
these essays examine American medicine within its context,
sensitive to the role of medical knowledge, practitioners, and
institutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The
selections not only cover general considerations of the social and
cultural context in which American medicine developed but also
analyze the relationship between science and medicine, the
development of mental hospitals, nursing, and health insurance.
