Although American physicians accepted the validity of the new science of medicine, they were sometimes reluctant to trust technology over their professional judgment or intuition. Likewise, patients raised their own suspicions about the new scientific tools, sometimes resisting or contradicting the advice of their physicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Christopher Crenner examines a critical period in medical history, focusing on the office practice of Boston physician Richard Cabot. Intimate epistolary exchanges between Cabot and his patients shed light on the challenges presented by the new technologies--especially their impact on the personal relationships between doctor and patient--providing insight into a time of expanding science and radical change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Crenner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080188117X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801881176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.64w x 0.93d","brand":"Christopher Crenner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448953188607,"sku":"9780801881176","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b25a1e2d-d785-4634-832c-ae57920e1c3f.jpg?v=1777261325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/private-practice-christopher-crenner-9780801881176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
