Arthur E. Hertzler is very thorough in his descriptions. There is a dry sense of humor here, so dry you might miss it if you aren't careful; reminds me of Mark Twain. It is interesting to read of medicine as it was practiced in the 1800s and then in the 1930s. Doctor Hertzler has a fine sense of history. He confesses that much of his practice was ineffective in a scientific way, the best he could do in most cases was diagnose and make the patient comfortable because there was so little known about the causes of disease, or how to cure it.
This is not a book of anecdotes, so much as a history of the practice in general, and the country practice in specific. I found much of his attitude to be bitter and harsh. Think Dr. House on the prairie in the 1800s. Sadly, I think this is a natural consequence of his profession and dealing with so many silly people on a regular basis. This author reflects all the prejudices of his times, and in fact, I quit reading the book when he came to describe the treatment of "women's problems." I am not up for that much instruction of past attitudes at this time.
Some will enjoy this book, especially if they have a medical background or an interest in first person narratives of history. It is amusing at times and the author has some great philosophical points to make. He writes in a clinical, and detached way and his sentences can be convoluted and descriptive. If one is familiar with reading writing of this era, it will help. I loved the few illustrations in the book.… (meer)
