A book that illuminates and humanizes the medical changes of the last half century.” According to the dustjacket, “this book is the story of a doctor’s life and work. He is a family doctor, one whose horse and buggy, and the automobiles that came later, happened to traverse the streets of a big city instead of country lanes. It is a true story; the doctor is real, not imagined, and the incidents related by him or about him are founded on fact, although some of the names used are fictitious. The doctor’s name is Jerome Steinfelder, and the city is New York, where he has practiced medicine for nearly half a century. In this informal biography is summed up the wisdom learned from a lifetime of practice in penthouses and in tenements, with people at their best and their worst.”Condition: Book has a bumped corner (see photo). The dustjacket is chipped and has small splits. The binding is tight and sound. The interior is clean and crisp.
