Title: Stutter's casebook
Description: "William Stutter's casebook contains the notes made by a young resident house apothecary and house surgeon working at a provincial general hospital in Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk in the mid-nineteenth century." "His case histories and prescriptions, the latter written in Latin in the highly abbreviated medical-cum-pharmaceutical language then in use, are analysed in detail, and an attempt is made to throw light on the state of medicine and its practitioners in a place far removed from the great teaching hospitals, at a time when doctors were unable to investigate patients with such things as X Rays, scanners and blood tests."--BOOK JACKET.
