An outstanding book, excellently written, focusing on the changes that took place in medicine and public health during and immediately after the French Revolution. Like so many other things, the French Revolution radically changed the way the state administered, the healthcare giver learned and practiced, and the patient experience medicine. Psychiatry, pediatrics, pharmacology, and midwifery all became new specialties as never before; Catholic nursing orders were pushed aside, for better or worse; and hospitals were reorganized on a grand scale. Highly recommended for those interested in the development of modern medicine as well as those interested in the French Revolution and the impact it had on both professionals and the average citizen.

In The Citizen-Patient in Revolutionary and Imperial Paris, Dora B. Weiner examines the experiences of the sick and handicapped indigent men, women, and children in Paris during the French Revolution and Empire. Weiner argues that significant groups of Revolutionary physicians and reformers interpreted equality to include every citizen's right to health care. These reformers faced political, religious, and professional opposition, and daunting problems of funding. And they needed the participation of the poor as "citizen-patients," patients with both rights and duties, who acted as responsible partners in the pursuit and maintenance of public and personal health. Weiner surveys the 20,000 patients institutionalized in twenty Paris hospitals and hospices and explains how the Revolution changed the status and work of nurses, pharmacists, midwives, and students, as well as doctors. Clinical teaching, professional specialization, and approaches to public health were all affected. Weiner emphasizes health care for children, deaf and blind people, and mentally ill patients and underscores the role of women as administrators and dispensers of hospital care.
