Softcover. Condición: As New. A historical novel written as Dr. Allen's memoir. Citing over four hundred sources, it is true to the events of Dr. Allen's life and the forces that changed medical care in the nineteenth century. Bloodletting and Germs will change the way you think about medical practice. Imagine you are a patient in 1840. You're sick and your village doctor has little more to offer than letting blood and purging your bowels. Or think of being the doctor, repeatedly staring at death, seeking cures, and holding the hand of a feverish child. On his way to America's frontier in 1834 the newly graduated doctor, Jabez Allen MD, stops for one night in an upstate New York village. He meets a teacher, a sick child, a young socialite abolitionist, and stays a lifetime.
