Book synopsis

Cultures of Care in Irish Medical History, 1750-1950 interrogates the practices and cultures of medical care in Ireland from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Historians examine health in Ireland through the prisms of state provision, professionalisation and the experiences of health and illness. Individual essays include analyses of quacks and cures; an exploration of contraception, discussions on the history of suicide, patients' attitudes to medical practitioners; the role of the coroners' courts, and the treatment of criminal lunatics. Personal experience of professional health care is explored in an examination of the influenza epidemic, 1918-19, and infanticide in Ireland.
