Description
"Manitoba Medicine is a colourful journey through the development of medicine in Manitoba. Beginning with an account of medicine in the early days of the Red River Settlement, it follows the struggles at the end of the nineteenth century to establish the first medical school and major hospital in western Canada. It also chronicles the battle for public health, the development of health insurance and medicare after World War Two, and medicine's role in fighting the 1950 flood and the polio epidemic of the 1950s." "Illustrated with nearly 100 photographs, Manitoba Medicine provides a vivid account of many of the individuals who built Manitoba's medical system. These include early educators such as Swale Vincent, pioneering physicians such as Charlotte Ross, important researchers such as Bruce Chown, and colourful private practitioners such as Murrough O'Brien."--BOOK JACKET.
