Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a biography of Dr. Amos Twitchell, a pioneering American medical professional whose life and career provide insight into the history of medicine in the United States. The author, Dr. Henry I. Bowditch, relies on Twitchell's letters, personal anecdotes, and interviews with his contemporaries to reconstruct his subject's life. Bowditch traces the development of Twitchell's medical knowledge, from his early fascination with science and mathematics to his studies with Dr. Nathan Smith, a leading figure in American medical education. The book also explores the ethical dilemmas that Twitchell faced, including the challenges of performing surgery in the face of public opposition to dissection. Through its examination of Twitchell's life and legacy, this book offers a valuable contribution to the history of medicine and the understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by medical professionals in the early 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
