Stutter's Casebook
Author:  E. E. Cockayne
Published:  2006
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

For most of his career W.G. Stutter (1815-77) was a respected general medical practitioner in the village of Wickhambrook, a small Suffolk backwater. As a younger man, however, he spent some time as House Apothecary and House Surgeon to the Suffolk General Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. Though just a record of a junior doctor in a small provincial hospital, this casebook is actually a surprisingly rare document of its kind and as such is a wonderful record of the medicine and medical profession of the period, in a place far removed from the great teaching hospitals.   paperback   ISBN 978-1-843-83289-8
