The Care of Strangers by Charles Rosenberg
This widely acclaimed history traces every facet of the hospital's social and professional transformations. Many of today's obsessions with technology, rigid bureaucracy, and uncontrolled cost can be found in hospitals more than half a century ago. Illustrated.
An elegantly written book that broadens the history of hospitals and places it squarely within the larger field of American social history-- Virginia G. Drachman American Historical Review
