Sumario:Highly readable ... interdisciplinary history of a high order. -- The Historian. Well-written and superbly documented ... Both physicians and lawyers will find this book useful and fascinating. -- Journal of the American Medical Association. This is the first book-length historical study of medical malpractice in 19th-century America and it is exceedingly well done ... The author reveals that, beginning in the 1840s, Americans began to initiate malpractice lawsuits against their physicians and surgeons. Among the reasons for this development were the decline in the belief in divine.
