This monograph, a coherent and consistent historical narrative about Romania's modernization, focuses on one section of the country's elites of the late nineteenth century, namely the health professionals, and on the imagery they constructed as they interacted with the peasant and his world. Doctors ventured out of cities and became a familiar sight on dusty country roads in of Moldavia and Wallachia. Beyond a charitable impulse they did so thru patriotism as the rural world became ever more prominent within the national ideology. Furthermore, new health legislation required the district general practitioner (medicul de plasă) to visit the villages in his catchment area twice a month. Based on solid original research, the book describes rural conditions of the time and the efforts aiming to improve peasants' way of life with abundant quotes from doctors' public health reports and memoirs. The book sheds light on a variety of microscale realities of social life in the medical discourse on the peasant and the rural world in the mirror of medical discourse. Themes include general hygiene, clothing, dwellings, nutrition, drinking habits and healing practices of the peasantry, in the eye of medical specialists. Related official measures, laws, regulations, norms about public health are also discussed in the frame of wider modernizing processes.

Modern Medicine, also called as Allopathic Medicine happens to be the chief, scientific mainstream system looking after the health of the societies all over the world. It boasts of its true scientific culture, transparency in approach, it is progressive all the while and is quick to respond to the needs of society from time to time. The last few decades have witnessed a great progress in medical science through research and technological innovations. Along with this growth, the modern medicine has also developed many weaknesses, its chief scientific foundation is getting corroded. It is failing in its goal to deliver health to the society and has started generating phobia of diseases in the minds of people. It is getting less cost-effective and less pragmatic. This book covers the pathology of this process, it shows how the science is getting perverted, how statistics is being misused, how the technological and scientific progress is being used to generate business. The health care system is getting heavily monetized. Hospital industry is getting corporatized. The Mediclaim insurance policies are being projected as the need of society. Medicine thus has become a business of money. This has led to moral degradation. The book discusses all these issues, suggests some innovative solutions wherever possible. It intends to put forth two important points- how morality is a product of social values and finally; how mind is responsible for many of the human reactions.This book aims at readers, medicos or otherwise, who love reading thought provoking material and who believe that reading is equally an active intelligent process as writing is. Starting from technical aspects of medicine, it escalates to discuss social, economic, moral, ethical, philosophical issues as seen through the narrow window of medical science. Any science in its highest evolved form has to embrace philosophy, this book attempts at that. The book should be treated as a frank introspection of medical practice in modern times by an active medical practitioner, chiefly in the Indian context. It intends to introduce non-medical persons to the intricacies of medical science, medical practice and medical decision making. Simultaneously, it challenges the thought process of medical practitioners and wants to create an awareness in their sensitive minds regarding the possible shortcomings of the modern medical science. The aim is not only to generate conscientious, humane pragmatic medical practitioners; but also, to generate intelligently curious patients who would help their doctors in improving their practicing skills and standards. A combination of good doctors and equally good patients is needed to maintain the highest standards in medical practice. The aim of medical practice is not only to alleviate bodily suffering, to prevent and treat deformities or merely to prolong life; but it is also to add happiness to everyone's life. This book kindles the quest for the same.

There is no more universal truth in life than death. No matter who you are, it is certain that one day you will die, but the mechanics and understanding of that experience will differ greatly in today’s modern age. Dr. Haider Warraich is a young and brilliant new voice in the conversation about death and dying started by Dr. Sherwin Nuland and Atul Gawande. Dr. Warraich takes a broader look at how we die today, from the cellular level up to the very definition of death itself. The most basic aspects of dying—the whys, wheres, whens, and hows—are almost nothing like what they were mere decades ago. Beyond its ecology, epidemiology, and economics, the very ethos of death has changed. Modern Death, Dr. Warraich’s debut book, will explore the rituals and language of dying that have developed in the last century, and how modern technology has not only changed the hows, whens, and wheres of death, but the what of death. Delving into the vast body of research on the evolving nature of death, Modern Death will provide readers with an enriched understanding of how death differs from the past, what our ancestors got right, and how trends and events have transformed this most final of human experiences.

Modern culture tends to separate medicine and miracles, but their histories are closely intertwined. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes saints through canonization based on evidence that they worked miracles, as signs of their proximity to God. Physicianhistorian Jacalyn Duffin has examined Vatican sources on 1400 miracles from six continents and spanning four centuries. Overwhelmingly the miracles cited in canonizations between 1588 and 1999 are healings, and the majority entail medical care and physician testimony. These remarkable records contain intimate stories of illness, prayer, and treatment, as told by people who rarely leave traces: peasants and illiterates, men and women, old and young. A woman's breast tumor melts away; a man's wounds knit; a lame girl suddenly walks; a dead baby revives. Suspicious of wishful thinking or na ve enthusiasm, skeptical clergy shaped the inquiries to identify recoveries that remain unexplained by the best doctors of the era. The tales of healing are supplemented with substantial testimony from these physicians. Some elements of the miracles change through time. Duffin shows that doctors increase in number; new technologies are embraced quickly; diagnoses shift with altered capabilities. But other aspects of the miracles are stable. The narratives follow a dramatic structure, shaped by the formal questions asked of each witness and by perennial reactions to illness and healing. In this history, medicine and religion emerge as parallel endeavors aimed at deriving meaningful signs from particular instances of human distress -- signs to explain, alleviate, and console in confrontation with suffering and mortality. A lively, sweeping analysis of a fascinating set of records, this book also poses an exciting methodological challenge to historians: miracle stories are a vital source not only on the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people, but also on medical science and its practitioners.

Through a skillful combination of economic and cultural history, this book describes the impact on Moldavia and Wallachia of steam navigation on the Danube. The Danube route integrated the two principalities into a dense network of European roads and waterways. From the 1830s to the 1860s, steamboat transport transformed time and space for the areas that benefited from regular services. River traffic accelerated urban development along the Lower Danube and contributed directly to institutional modernization in one of Europe’s peripheries. Beyond technological advances and the transportation of goods on a trans-imperial waterway, steamboat travel revolutionized human interactions, too. The book offers a fascinating insight into the social and cultural milieu of the nineteenth century, drawing on first-hand accounts of Danube cruising. Describing the story of travelers who interacted, met, and visited the places they stopped, Constantin Ardeleanu creates a transnational history of travel up and down the Danube from Vienna to Constantinople. The pleasures and sometimes the travails of the travelers unfold against a backdrop of technical and economic transformation in the crucial period of modernization.
