Summary
| Description | Explores the development of New Orleans physicians' understanding of their responsibilities, both medical and social, during the 19th century. Professionalization in New Orleans involved disputes, with both words and weapons, between French- and American-trained physicians, battles over French and English language medical societies and journals, institutionalizing medical practice and education, and creating legitimacy in the eyes of the American government. A range of NLM materials document physicians' ambitions and obstacles, and efforts to drive the public from medical debates. They suggest the advantages and disadvantages for what might be called a medical "habit of mind." |
