The State And The Doctor (1910)

By Sidney Webb and Beatrice Potter Webb

Book Overview

The State And The Doctor is a book written by Sidney Webb and first published in 1910. The book explores the relationship between the state and the medical profession in the early 20th century. Webb argues that the state has a responsibility to ensure that its citizens have access to high-quality medical care, and that this can only be achieved through a system of public healthcare. He also discusses the role of doctors in society, and the need for them to be accountable to the state and to their patients. The book is a fascinating insight into the debates around healthcare reform that were taking place at the time, and it remains relevant today as countries around the world continue to grapple with the challenges of providing affordable and accessible healthcare to all their citizens.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
