Book Synopsis Charity and the London Hospitals, 1850-1898 by : Keir Waddington
Download or read book Charity and the London Hospitals, 1850-1898 written by Keir Waddington and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2000 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on a comparative study of hospital records, Charity and the London Hospitals investigates how and why Victorians contributed in order to show that benevolence was rarely amenable to a single form or reason. Whilst charity remained central to the hospitals' raison d'etre, philanthropy's contribution was modified at a financial and administrative level as hospitals shifted from being philanthropic to medical institutions. Why this process occurred and the impact of professionalisation and scientific medicine are assessed."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Bedlam written by Paul Chambers and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bethlem Hospital is the oldest mental institution in the world, to many famously known as ' Bedlam': a chaotic madhouse that brutalised its patients. Paul Chambers explores the 800-year history of Bethlem and reveals fascinating details of its ambivalent relationship with London and its inhabitants, the life and times of the hospital's more famous patients, and the rise of a powerful reform movement to tackle the institution's notorious policies. Here the whole story of Bethlem Hospital is laid bare to a new audience, charting its well-intended beginnings to its final disgrace and reform.
Book Synopsis Venereal Disease, Hospitals, and the Urban Poor ; London's "foul Wards," 1600-1800 by : Kevin Patrick Siena
Download or read book Venereal Disease, Hospitals, and the Urban Poor ; London's "foul Wards," 1600-1800 written by Kevin Patrick Siena and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how London society responded to the dilemma of the rampant spread of the pox among the poor. Some have asserted that public authorities turned their backs on the "foul" and only began to offer care for venereal patients in the Enlightenment. An exploration of hospitals and workhouses shows a much more impressive public health response. London hospitals established "foul wards" at least as early as the mid-sixteenth century. Reconstruction of these wards shows that, far from banning paupers with the pox, hospitals made treating them one of their primary services. Not merely present in hospitals, venereal patients were omnipresent. Yet the "foul" comprised a unique category of patient. The sexual nature of their ailment guaranteed that they would be treated quite differently than all other patients. Class and gender informed patients' experiences in crucial ways. The shameful nature of the disease, and the gendered notion of shame itself, meant that men and women faced quite different circumstances. There emerged a gendered geography of London hospitals as men predominated in fee-charging hospitals, while sick women crowded into workhouses. Patients frequently desired to conceal their infection. This generated innovative services for elite patients who could buy medical privacy by hiring their own doctor. However, the public scrutiny that hospitalization demanded forced poor patients to be creative as they sought access to medical care that they could not afford. Thus, Venereal Disease, Hospitals and the Urban Poor offers new insights on patients' experiences of illness and on London's health care system itself. Kevin Siena is Assistant Professor of History at Trent University.

Book Synopsis Medical Specialisation at the London Hospital by : Michael Swash
Download or read book Medical Specialisation at the London Hospital written by Michael Swash and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of specialty skills in medical and surgical practice in the late 19th and in the 20th century transformed medical practice. For the first time, a patient could visit a doctor with the expectation of an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Disease prevention became a realistic proposition. Traditional practice methods became obsolescent, but a yearning for generalist medical wisdom and respect continued until the 2nd World War disrupted progress. In the 19th century, the London Hospital was remarkably open to new ideas, and the Chairman of the Board, Viscount Knutsford, was a master fundraiser. Investment in novel facilities and staff, including the establishment of special departments, and consequent changes in clinical practice led to a growing national and international reputation in clinical practice and education. Specialty skills defined innovations, both in hospital and family practice. More recently, merging St Bartholomew’s, the Royal London Hospital and other hospitals has reactivated the advance of specialism.

Book excerpt: Christ's Hospital was not established as a foundling hospital but as an orphanage and school for "the fatherless children & other poor men's children that were not able to keep them..." It was not a warehouse for unwanted children, but a safe place where they received more than just physical care. The goal of Christ's Hospital was to return these children back to society as useful and productive members. It is a unique institution in that it also performed as an agent of general poor relief, giving money and pensions to elderly and sick adults, even if they were childless. It appears that Christ's, in concert with St.

Book excerpt: ______________________________ The huge word-of-mouth bestseller – completely updated for 2019 THE LONDON THAT TOURISTS DON’T SEE Look beyond Big Ben and past the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, and you will find another London. This is the land of long-forgotten tube stations, burnt-out mansions and gently decaying factories.

Paul Talling – our best-loved investigator of London’s underbelly – has spent over fifteen years uncovering the stories of this hidden world.

Covering everything from the overgrown stands of Leyton Stadium to the windswept alleys of the Aylesbury Estate, DERELICT LONDON reveals a side of the city you never knew existed. It will change the way you see London. ______________________________ PRAISE FOR THE DERELICT LONDON PROJECT ‘Fascinating images showing some of London’s eeriest derelict sites show another side to the busy, built-up capital.’ Daily Mail ‘Talling has managed to show another side to the capital, one of abandoned buildings that somehow retain a sense of beauty.’ Metro ‘Excellent . . . As much as it is an inadvertent vision of how London might look after a catastrophe, DERELICT LONDON is valuable as a document of the one going on right in front of us.’ New Statesman ‘From the iconic empty shell of Battersea Power Station to the buried ‘ghost’ stations of the London Underground, the city is peppered with decaying buildings. Paul Talling knows these places better than anyone in the capital.’ Daily Express ‘[London has an] unusual (and deplorable) number of abandoned buildings. Paul Talling’s surprise bestseller, DERELICT LONDON, is their shabby Pevsner.’ Daily Telegraph ______________________________
