Reminiscences Of A Workhouse Medical Officer
Joseph Rogers
Leído por David Wales





Joseph Rogers (1821-1889) was an English physician, medical officer, and health care reformer in London. The system of poor-law dispensaries and separate sick wards, with proper staffs of medical attendants and nurses, was due to the efforts of Rogers and his colleagues. His memoir, published in 1889, contains an informative biography written by his brother. His career was not without conflict as his zeal sometimes offended governing boards. - Summary by David Wales (6 hr 20 min)

Jordana Welch
Dr. Rogers was a vigilant and devoted health care reformer. It is sad to think that so many of the battles he fought for health care well over a hundred years ago are still being fought in the USA in 2025.
