Whether in the Swiss countryside or in a doctor's office in Boston,
in German, English or French hospitals or within multinational
organizations, with early vaccinations or with new pharmaceuticals
from Big Pharma today, or in early modern Saxon mining towns or in
Prussian military healthcare - for at least 500 years, accounting
has been an essential part of medical practice with significant
moral, social and epistemological implications. Covering the period
between 1500-2000, the book examines in short case studies the
importance of calculative practices for medicine in very different
contexts. Thus, Accounting for Health offers a synopsis of the
extent to which accounting not only influenced medical practices
over centuries, but shaped modern medicine as a whole. This book is
relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good
health and well-being. -- .
Examines medical history in northern Europe from 1850 to 2015 and
sheds new light on the circulation of medical knowledge in that
region The Baltic Sea region in northern Europe, with its history
of multiple cultural and social transformations, as well as mixture
of national and regional scientific styles, has lately attracted
much attention from scholars of various disciplines. This book
explores the history of medicine in the Baltic Sea region and
provides different answers to one central question: How has the
circulation of knowledge in the Baltic Sea region influenced
medicine as a discipline, and illness as an experience, during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries? The anthology consists of ten
chapters that shed new light on how medical ideas and devices were
developed in different contexts. Illuminating currents of
traditions, contact zones, and areas of conflict, essays in this
collection discuss technological, social, and economic aspects
relevant for the exchange of medical knowledge across the Baltic
Sea. The contributing authors are historians, physicians,
geographers, ethnologists, and scholars of literature.
