John Hall, William Shakespeare's son-in-law, was an eminently successful Stratford physician of the first third of the 17th century. His surviving medical case notes for the years 1611-35 provide a rare picture of provincial medical practice in Stuart England as well as interesting details on persons close to Shakespeare. This new edition comprises a facsimile edition of an early printed version of Hall's Select Observations with facing commentary on patients and their treatments.

This review is from: John Hall and His Patients: The Medical Practice of Shakespeare's Son-in-law (Paperback)
The Medical practice of Shakespeare's Son in Law is worth a look. While John Hal's methods may seem primitive there is evidence of a care for his patients and a genuine attempt on his part to find the cause for their aliments.
