Today we continue Paul Starr's book "The Social Transformation of American Medicine", with chapters 3 and 4. These cover the changes that occurred in medical education during the later half of the 19th century, as well as the importance that hospitals and scientific achievements had on solidifying the prestigious role doctors came to have in US society.

Today we discuss Paul Starr's book "The Social Transformation of American Medicine", published in 1982. Specifically we focus on the introduction and chapter I, which begins to detail how American medicine went from a largely unorganized, unlicensed, lower class trade in the late 18th/early 19th century to the priestly profession it is today.

Today we have a special episode with The Reckless Muse (aka Ben D'Alessio and Joe Garza), because we read Ben D'Alessio's book Neon God. His novel essentially answers the question of what would happen if the Greek god Dionysus decided to go on a bender in New Orlean. As you can imagine, debauchery ensues!
