Publisher's Synopsis
The hospital, mainly known as the DRI, existed for 200 years, from 1798 until 1998. Along the lines of a Stenlake old towns book, but with some of the photographs and illustrations in full colour, this illustrated history tells the story of the DRI. As well as photographs of buildings, wards, doctors, nurses and patients, there is also a strong focus on how medicine developed from the early days and how equipment developed through the years. There are some great photos included from the 40s, 50s and 60s of staff at work and the book features notable personalities such as Ken Lowe and Dr J.F. Riley. The author is a former Consultant and is Honorary Curator of Tayside Medical History Museum and he has produced a book that will be interesting to medical staff all over Scotland.
