This book examines the Victorian medical profession and the changes it underwent during the 19th century. Once a humble occupation, by the end of the century, doctors had formed a powerful profession with much influence. The author argues that this elevated status led to a moral shift within the medical community, wherein the pursuit of profit and scientific advancement came to be prioritized over the well-being of patients. The book goes on to discuss issues of education, ethics, and the treatment of patients in Victorian society. By exploring the ways in which the medical profession evolved during this period, the author provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between medicine, science, and society.
