Title: Watchful Care: A History of America's Nurse Anesthetists
Author: Marianne Bankert
Publisher: The Continuum Publishing Company, New York
Published: 1989
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: First Edition
Number of Pages: 234
Catalogs: Nursing History, Medicine, History of Medicine
Description: Illustrated with black and white photographs. Original textured black paper-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine. Teal dust-jacket in very good condition, with light wrinkling at the front top edge. Pages are clean and unmarked. The development of surgery following the mid-nineteenth century introduction of surgical anesthesia at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital made clear the need for professional anesthetists. But who should they be? The work's initial lack of medical status and financial reward made it unattractive to the physician. Out of necessity, surgeons turned to nurses, and nursing's first clinical specialty was called into being. In this study, Bankert argues that this economic and gender-based decision set the stage for the ensuing decades of conflict as physicians sought to reclaim and control the field they had previously shunned. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, very good condition. 234 pages, octavo. ISBN: 082640510X
