Bellevue

Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital

Oshinsky certainly did his research. Bellevue Hospital is as rich in history as its many patients, doctors, and researchers. A book has to be well written to captivate a reader with so much information. We are taken from a time of miasma clouds and blood letting with a generous use of alcohol often absconded by staff to grave robbing for knowledge of physiology. What hospital can lead in indigent care, AIDS programs, 9/11 recovery, and even EBOLA. Fascinating detail. Reminds me of the book Five Days at Memorial which came out after Katrina.
