Medicine Without Doctors
“The importance of this slender volume exceeds its size. It is the rule, in scholarship as well as in life, for assumptions to go unquestioned. The significance of this book is that it engages in that difficult task. It challenges us to reconsider one of the prime assumptions of medical historiography: that physicians are, and always have been at the center of the health care enterprise…A fascinating group of issues are raised and interpretations offered in these scholarly and literate essays. I share their hope that the book will spur further research in this important area.”
Kenneth M. Ludmerer, Journal of the History of Medicine 34 (Jan 1979): 101-02.
