This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phinizy Spalding traces the development of Georgia's oldest medical school from the initial plans of a small group of physicians to the five school complex found in Augusta in the late 1980s. Charting a course filled with great achievement and near-fatal adversity, Spalding shows how the life of the college has been intimately bound to the local community, state politics, and the national medical establishment. When the Medical Academy of Georgia opened its doors in 1828 to a class of seven students, the total number of degreed physicians in the state was fewer than one hundred. Spalding traces the history of the Academy through its early robust growth in the antebellum years; its slowed progress during the Civil War; its decline and hardships during the early half of the twentieth century; and finally its resurgence and a new era of optimism starting in the 1950s.

Dugas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the Class of the Medical College of Georgia, at the Opening of the Session of 1846-7: Containing a Sketch of the Improvements in Medicine During the Present Century The studies you are about to commence, although laborious, and indeed interminable, present attractions such as are offered by no other department of human knowledge, for they comprehend all that is most interesting in Nature's works, and relate specially in all their bearings to the welfare of him who was created in the likeness of his Maker. The study of Medicine, therefore, not only enlarges the mind, but also cultivates those kindly sympathies so well calculated to develop benevolence, the most unfailing source of human happiness. Unlike those subjects of mental pursuit, whose end is mere recreation, and which leave no reminiscences on which we may dwell with pleasure, this is one in which the agreeable and the useful are so intimately blend ed, that the farther we advance in it, the more fascinating it becomes, and the greater is the store from which We may draw as utilitarians, or admire in Silent contemplation amidst the turmoils of life.

Download or read book Medical Bondage written by Deirdre Cooper Owens and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accomplishments of pioneering doctors such as John Peter Mettauer, James Marion Sims, and Nathan Bozeman are well documented. It is also no secret that these nineteenth-century gynecologists performed experimental caesarean sections, ovariotomies, and obstetric fistula repairs primarily on poor and powerless women. Medical Bondage breaks new ground by exploring how and why physicians denied these women their full humanity yet valued them as “medical superbodies” highly suited for medical experimentation. In Medical Bondage, Cooper Owens examines a wide range of scientific literature and less formal communications in which gynecologists created and disseminated medical fictions about their patients, such as their belief that black enslaved women could withstand pain better than white “ladies.” Even as they were advancing medicine, these doctors were legitimizing, for decades to come, groundless theories related to whiteness and blackness, men and women, and the inferiority of other races or nationalities. Medical Bondage moves between southern plantations and northern urban centers to reveal how nineteenth-century American ideas about race, health, and status influenced doctor-patient relationships in sites of healing like slave cabins, medical colleges, and hospitals. It also retells the story of black enslaved women and of Irish immigrant women from the perspective of these exploited groups and thus restores for us a picture of their lives.

Download or read book The First Anesthetic written by Frank Kells Boland and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1846 William Thomas Green Morton (1819-1868) performed the first publicly-witnessed surgery to use ether as an anesthetic when he removed a neck tumor from a patient at Massacusetts General Hospital. News of the dramatic event quickly spread and Morton was erroneously credited with discovering the procedure. Few people at the time knew that Crawford W. Long (1815-1878), a physician from Danielsville, Georgia, was the true pioneer of this important medical advancement. In 1950 Frank Kells Boland published The First Anesthetic, tracing the history of Long's first discoveries and uses of anesthesia and calling for wider recognition of his achievements.
