Medical (Mal)Practice and the Illusion of Progress in Edward Berdoe’s St Bernard’s: The Romance of a Medical Student and Leonard Graham’s The Professor’s Wife: A Genealogical Analy... by Adrian Tait

“…Following Foucault’s genealogical approach, it is possible to trace the various ways in which these novels respond to the advent of a science-driven epistemology, which in turn generated a wholesale rejection of existing medical practices as unscientific and ineffectual, and a corresponding recognition that only intensive research might someday result in meaningful cures: until that time, medical practitioners could do little for their patients. …”
