Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1699, two hundred souls landed on the shores of the Gulf Coast, giving France her first foothold in what was to become the Louisiana Territory. This comprehensive two-volume work traces the medical history of these settlers through succeeding generations, as Louisiana expanded and flourished, closing with the first quarter of the nineteenth century. In writing this work, John Duffy has drawn upon the rich collection of data gathered by the late Dr. Rudolph Matas, along with all the available primary sources. This collaboration has resulted in a medical history of unique interest and importance. Volume I presents the whole panorama of medical history in colonial Louisiana, including such subjects as Indian medicine, early hospitals, epidemics, and the regulation of medicine and pharmacy. It offers an insight into the medical annals of Louisiana that is available in print nowhere else. Volume II presents the clash between the French and English cultures. The French Creole physicians followed a policy designed to assist nature in her cure of the patient, while the English-speaking physicians, believed that desperate diseases require desperate remedies. About the Editor A native of Barrrow-in-Furness, England, John Duffy migrated to Canada at the age of eleven and entered the United States two years later. An American citizen since 1939, he graduated from Louisiana Normal College (now Northwestern State College) and received his M.A. in history from Louisiana State University and his Ph.D. from the University of California.

This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Original Contributions of Louisiana to Medical Sciences: A Biographic Study It is physically utterly impossible for people engaged in the prosaic money-getting pursuits to realize, even faintly, the tremendous significance that the intellectuals - that is, those engaged in the sciences, literature and the arts, attach, to the word original. To have done something original, ever so little, is to them the supremest achievement. They feel as if by creating something new they are singled by the finger Of God from the common herd and lifted up by the great Creator himself, to be one of the anointed. Thousands of wretched deluded mortals have suffered eternal poverty in the mad hope to attain this goal, ever vanishing to so many of them like the mirage in the desert. Worse than all, many have in icted pitilessly the most cruel privations in that attempt, upon those they should love the most, their wives and children. The supreme and lofty contempt of the Often dirty, hirsute creatures, Oddly clad, shown by the ordinary money people is something stupendous. For some time past I have been devoting much time to the study of Original Contributions of America to Medical Sciences. I was exceedingly happy and proud to find that Louisiana, with twenty-nine original contributors comes on a par with the great old populous cultured city of' Boston which presents also twenty - nine original contributors.

Download or read book Science and Medicine in the Old South written by Ronald Numbers and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a few notable exceptions, historians have tended to ignore the role that science and medicine played in the antebellum South. The fourteen essays in Science and Medicine in the Old South help to redress that neglect by considering scientific and medical developments in the early nineteenth-century South and by showing the ways in which the South’s scientific and medical activities differed from those of other regions. The book is divided into two sections. The essays in the first section examine the broad background of science in the South between 1830 and 1860; the second section addresses medicine specifically. The essays frequently counterpoint each other. In the first section, Ronald Numbers and Janet Numbers argue that he South’s failure to “keep pace” with the North in scientific areas resulted from demographic factors. William Scarborough asserts that slavery produced a social structure that encouraged agricultural and political careers rather than scientific and industrial ones. Charles Dew offers a strong indictment of slavery, suggesting that the conservative influence of the institution severely discouraged the adoption of modern technologies. Other essays examine institutions of higher learning in the South, southern scientific societies, and the relationship between science and theology. The section on medicine in the Old South also examines the ways in which the medical needs and practices of the Old South were both similar to and distinct from those of other regions. K. David Patterson argues that slavery in effect imported African diseases into the Southeast and created a “modified West African disease environment.” James H. Cassedy points out that land-management policies determined by slavery—land clearing, soil exhaustion—also helped created a distinctive disease environment. Other contributors discuss southern public health problems, domestic medicine, slave folk beliefs, and the special medical needs of blacks. Science and Medicine in the Old South is a long-overdue examination of these segments of the southern cultural milieu. These essays will do much to clarify misconceptions about the time and the region; moreover, they suggest directions for future research.

Download or read book New Orleans Charity Hospital written by John E. Salvaggio and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1992-11-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 250 years New Orleans' Charity Hospital has struggled to serve the city's indigent ill, and in so doing has become an institution steeped in Louisiana history and politics. In this fascinating new book John Salvaggio traces the colorful history of Charity Hospital from the early days of French colonial medicine through the Spanish period, the early American years, the volatile Huey Long and World War II eras, and the modern postwar period.Established in 1736, with the legacy of a compassionate French ship builder, Charity Hospital has weathered many storms to maintain its status as the oldest continually operating hospital in the United States. It has withstood the transfer of Louisiana territory from the French to the Spanish and survived devastating hurricanes and a fire. The institution has also endured the stormy beginnings of Louisiana statehood, the hardships of the Civil War, and more recently, the stresses of caring for an ever-expanding patient load. Throughout much of its history, Charity Hospital has encountered political squabbles, patronage problems, and financial woes. As a new century approaches, the hospital finds its future threatened by inadequate funding and the crumbling of its physical facilities.Despite many setbacks, Charity Hospital has accomplished much in its history. Salvaggio presents a summary of the many medical procedures, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic innovations that have been introduced at the "Big Free," as the hospital is popularly known. He also provides previously unchronicled information on the hospital's history during the twentieth century, writing about political infighting during the governorship of Huey P. Long, construction of a new hospital building in the 1930s, integration of the hospital in the 1960s, its relationships with the medical schools of Louisiana State University and Tulane University, and the current frustrating attempts to adequately staff the institution.Interviews with many of Charity's past directors and others associated with the hospital, as well as lively anecdotes from the author's own experience, bring the hospital's history to life and provide valuable insight into the institution's inner workings. These reminiscences, coupled with Salvaggio's depiction of Charity's past, present, and now questionable future, make this a fascinating and informative work on an important hospital of the South.
