Description

This history of Georgetown University School of Medicine traces 150 years of revolutions in medical and surgical practice, education, and science. Today one of the nation's most respected institutions, the medical school began in four candlelit rooms with seven professors, a handful of students, a curriculum only four months long, and virtually no clinical instruction. Covering bloodletting to grave-robbing to the birth of the modern high-tech era, this history focuses on remarkable individuals, especially the surgeons among them, who overcame successive obstacles and dramas to drive Georgetown forward.
