Excerpt from The American Hospital of the Twentieth Century: A Treatise on the Development of Medical Institutions, Both in Europe and in America, Since the Beginning of the Present CenturyIt is in response to this demand that the writer has endeavored to collect plans and information concerning a few of the many good institutions recently finished or under construction, with the hope that interest in the publication of such works will grow and that this book will be only a forerunner of much more comprehensive treatises. It is not the writer's intention to criticise the plans of the institutions here shown, but to present them as various solutions of the great problems of housing and caring for the sick and to point out a few of the findings of his own experience in.the planning of more than fourscore hospitals and institutions. The field is so broad that it is impossible more than to touch upon the various points.If frequent mention is made of hospitals in Europe, it is for the purpose of comparison, with the hope that the study and comparison may interest the reader, as it did the writer in collecting the data.The chapters on the Ward Unit, the Surgical Unit, the Medical Unit, and the Equipment are taken largely from papers by the writer which were read before the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
