Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the relative mortality rates for amputations performed in smaller cottage hospitals compared to those performed in larger metropolitan hospitals during the 19th century. The author, an expert in public health and sanitation, presents comparative data on hundreds of surgical procedures performed in both types of institutions. The author argues that the lower mortality rates in cottage hospitals were likely due to a less polluted environment, better nursing care, and less frequent use of unhygienic practices in these institutions. This meticulously researched book offers one of the earliest studies on the relationship between hospital size and surgical outcomes and helped raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene in healthcare settings.
