About this work

Description

"Courtney Nedwill was once Christchurch's most admired and most reviled doctor. He was admired as a caring GP and a careful surgeon... But he was also notorious for his quarrels with other doctors... His career is particularly interesting as it straddles the transition between the traditional era of blood-letting and miasmas to the modern era of bacteria and aseptic surgery."--From back cover.
