Plot

Physicians during the Revolutionary era often held scientific beliefs and employed practices so rudimentary that they often endangered, rather than cured, their patients. In this book, C. Keith Wilbur, a physician himself, describes how American medicine began its transformation from medieval superstition to modern science during this period of battlefield medicine. This new edition features a new section of "Revolutionary Medical Highlights" -- unusual happenings that include King George's medical problems, body snatching for anatomy classes, and Revere the dentist.
