註釋

Despite the establishment of the first medical school in British-ruled America in 1765, Toledo-Pereyra (surgery, Michigan State U.; Borgess Research Institute, Kalamazoo) asserts that medical education in the states was not up to the task of adequately preparing physicians until the end of the 19th century. In this medical history for college and medical students, he traces American healthcare from early settlers' encounter with Native Indian medicine to the advances marking the modern era. Illustrations feature early hospitals, the first woman to receive a MD from an American medical school (Elizabeth Blackwell), a pioneering African-American surgeon/educator (Daniel Hale Williams), other pioneers in the field, and early medical procedures. -- ‡c From publisher's description.
