OverviewWORK OF THE HIGHEST CHARITY: A History of Medicine in New York's North Country 1800-2000 tells the fascinating, often incredible, and occasionally gruesome true story of the progress of medicine, physicians, and other health providers in Northern New York, with special focus on St. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Lewis counties. Here we meet the visionaries, personalities, care-givers, institutions, inventors, and medical experimenters who brought chloroform into the operating room, a practical thermometer into the sickroom, and the art of triage onto the battlefield. Ten years in the research and writing, this book is a wealth of medical evidence and lore that cannot be found in any other single source.
