It looks at different forms of practice--public appointments in hospitals, office under state welfare systems, and private practice. From the 1750s medicine became more commercialized. Doctors were successful in raising demand for their own services but were unsuccessful in restricting competition. Many medical practitioners struggled to make a living by seeing many patients at low fees, so that \"five minutes for the patient\" is not a new feature of health care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Digby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052134526X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521345262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.78w x 0.57d","brand":"Anne Digby","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112918003967,"sku":"9780521345262","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c798d56b-5bd9-4af5-82cb-a9814e918d24.jpg?v=1769611825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-a-medical-living-anne-digby-9780521345262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
