Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital by David M. Oshinsky

3.0

A well-written, well-researched tome on the history of New York's most infamous/famous hospital. More interesting than I anticipated, although I did still paced myself, only reading so much at a stretch. I was a little disappointed in the section on the psychiatric wards and Nellie Bly, but really enjoyed the section on AIDS, having not previously realized the pervasiveness of that illness.
