Summary:

Drawing in particular on physicians' casebooks, Medical Practice, 1600-1900 studies the changing nature of ordinary medical practice in early modern Europe. Combining case studies on individual German. Austrian and Swiss practitioners with a comparative analysis across the centuries, it offers the first comprehensive and systematic overview of the major aspects of premodera practitioners' daily work and business - from diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and the kinds of patients treated to financial issues, record keeping and their place in contemporary society.
