description: Medical science has made great advances in this century. So much so that we look back on the physicians of the past with a condescending smile thinking of them as little better than primitive witch doctors or superstitious barbarians.One bright day the medical establishment in New York City found itself faced with a problem that made it feel as ignorant and helpless as any physician of 500 years ago. They faced a scourge that had decimated Europe during the middle ages - the bubonic plague.
