Family physician and artist Dr. C. Keith Wilber presents a hand-illustrated tour of medical history via the doctors' instruments. This study chronicles the evolution of a wide range of medical instruments from the mid-1700s through current usage. It includes discussions on microscopes, reflex hammers, stethoscopes, blood pressure instruments, electro-cardiographs, ophthalmoscopes, otoscopes, endoscopes, vaginal specula, thermometers, forceps, bullet probes, bloodletting instruments, vaccination lancets, trepanning tools, and others. This is an important resource for all medical personnel, historians, and collectors. AUTHOR: Dr. Wilbur is a descendent of Roger Williams who founded Rhode Island in 1636. Born in Providence, Dr. Wilbur attended Bates College in Maine until he was called to duty in WWII as a lieutenant on a sub chaser in the English Channel. Returning to Maine after the war, he married his college sweetheart, Ruth, and completed his education at Bates. From there Dr. Wilbur attended Vermont Medical School and completed his internship at Salem Hospital. 1500 drawings 1500 drawings
