St. Mary's Hospital Gazette, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint)

This book is a survey of medical and health-related issues that were prevalent in society during the Victorian Era and examines how this era shaped the way we think about the social responsibilities of healthcare today. Exploring how charity was viewed in Victorian times, the author examines why, despite medical advances during the second half of the 19th century, healthcare and medicine were still out of reach for many people. The author also delves into the ethical issues that have since arisen, such as the controversy surrounding vaccination campaigns.
