This review is from: Medicine in Maryland: The Practice and the Profession, 1799-1999 (Hardcover)
Jane Sewell, who unfortunately died earlier this year (with a glowing obituary in THE SUN), was one of the best historians Maryland has ever had. Her ability to combine brevity with comprehensiveness shines nowhere better than in this volume on Maryland's 200 year history in American medicine. Ms. Sewell touches on all aspects of the state's medical history, from the heyday of Baltimore medicine (which, thanks to Johns Hopkins and UM, continues to this day) to the impoverished conditions of the state's western and southern fringes. The grand scope of this book is executed with such mastery of content, voice, and detail that I would not hesitate to call this one the most outstanding histories of medicine ever written. I found the chapters both informative and inspiring, and advise any person studying or practicing medicine in the Free State to secure a copy for his or her library. |
