Prevention, discipline, and surveillance produced results, and career opportunities for physicians and surgeons. All these developments had an impact on medicine and society, and were in turn influenced by them. The essays within examine these phenomena, exploring the imperial context, nursing and medicine in Britain, naval medicine, as well as the relationship between medicine, the state and society.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBritish Military and Naval Medicine\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the notion that military medicine was, in all respects, 'a good thing'.
