Reseña del editor

The practice of medicine has changed greatly since the time of Hippocrates in 400 b.c., but the work of doctors and nurses has always been to alleviate suffering. This colorful, informative book explores the world of medical history, spanning the time from Roman physicians to modern-day surgeons, from Native American healers to district nurses. The colorful reenactments photographed especially for this book bring medical history to vivid life: a barber-surgeon from 1450 extracts a tooth, an Elizabethan housewife grinds medicinal herbs to treat wounds, a general practitioner from 1965 listens to her young patient
