From Popular Medicine to Medical Populism: Doctors, Healers, and Public Power in Costa Rica, 1800–1940
Steven Palmer
Presents the history of medical practice in Costa Rica from the late colonial era - when none of the fifty thousand inhabitants had access to a titled physician, pharmacist, or midwife - to the 1940s, when the figure of the qualified medical doctor was part of everyday life for many of Costa Rica's nearly one million citizens.
