In this exciting book, Helen Dingwall introduces the history of Scottish medicine from earliest times to the present day. Offering a new synthesis of medicine and society in Scotland, she *Covers developments in medicine, surgery and alternative medicine in relation to the changing economic, social, political and religious background. *Discusses concepts of professionalism and institutionalisation. *Assesses medical practitioners and patients in the general historical context.
