4.0 out of 5 stars Power and law in 19th century medicine, May 6, 2003
This review is from: Medical Malpractice in Nineteenth-Century America: Origins and Legacy (American Social Experience Series) (Paperback)
DeVille looks at the development of professional medicine in the 19th century from a legal standpoint. Malpractice directly relates to power and disciplinary structures effecting decision making and the practice of medicine. DeVille touches on pain, but ideas about pain might be better integrated into the legal context this book provides. The narrative is a bit dry, but the information is worth a look as there are few works on the emergence of the medical profession in the United States that focus on how malpractice influenced behavior and policy.
