Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the transcript of the trial of George McClellan, a medical doctor, indicted for libel. The plaintiff had accused Dr. Francis Beattie of incompetency and malpractice, resulting in blindness. McClellan was a prominent physician and also a prosecutor of the charge, and his testimony against Beattie became evidence in the resulting trial. The author uses the trial as a jumping-off point for an examination of the medical profession and the ethical issues facing it in the early 19th century. By detailing the testimony of both sides, the author reveals the inner workings of the medical community, as well as highlighting both the promise and the pitfalls of medical science at that time. The book concludes with a thorough analysis of the trialâs outcome and its implications for the future of medical ethics and practice. Uncovering the controversies and clashes within the medical community at that time, the author provides a fascinating look into the complex world of medicine and its practitioners.
