A Doctor's Life: A visual history of doctors and nurses through the ages
by Rod Storring.
New York: Dutton Children's Books, c1998
This colorful and informative book covers the world of medical history, spanning the time from Roman physicians to modern-day surgeons.
“The pictures of costumed people often have a static, staged quality; however, the book offers an unusual window to the past. And despite the British focus, the text and captions include plenty of eye-opening details of medical practice through the ages. A good choice for visual learners. Extensive time line and glossary appended.”
