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

4.0

Clear historical look at one of the most famous public hospitals in the United States. Bellevue opened in 1738 (yes, you read that right) to the sick and dying destitute residents of NYC. This book offers readers a history lesson on the advances in medicine, epidemics in the city, how Civil War soldiers were treated and so, so much more. Should be required reading for those entering the medical field.

I read an advance copy and was not compensated.
