A figure of both satire and reverence, the medical practitioner occupied a conflicted role in a society where progress and traditionalism were constantly at odds.The book will investigate the wide-ranging experiences of the Victorian doctor, from the student''s first steps into the dissection room to the emergency midnight visits where anything could happen. Covering hospitals, crime, country life, quackery and more, Caroline Rance reveals the eventful lives of the men and women who treated the sick in Victorian Britain.
