Description: Licensed to Practice : The Supreme Court Defines the American Medical Profession, Paperback by Mohr, James C., ISBN 1421411423, ISBN-13 9781421411422, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The 1889 Supreme Court case, Dent v. West Virginia, essentially transformed medicine into a profession that required state licensure. But it has received little attention, often just a footnote in journal articles and books. When Mohr (history and social science, U. of Oregon) decided to look into it, what began as casual curiosity soon turned into extensive research of primary sources and a story that involved battles over who could receive approval to practice medicine. And on top of that, an 1891 murder in Wheeling, West Virginia of Dr. George Baird by Dr. George Garrison. This book gets into the stories of the major players in what was once a great controversy.
