The Early History of Modern Medicine

Abstract: A 6 page research paper that analyzes Dr. Erwin H. Ackerknecht's book Medicine at the Paris Hospital, 1794-1848. This book gives a fascinating account of the development of early modern medicine focusing on the innovative practices that were first pioneered in the early nineteenth century at the Paris Hospital. Ackerknecht demonstrates how the "new" medicine that was being practiced and taught in Paris evolved out of a political and technological revolution. No additional sources listed.
