Quakers in Medicine: Friends of the Truth

This is a brief account of a selection of brilliant Quakers in search of medical truth often set against a stark background of religious prejudice and adversity. Their achievements make an inspiring lesson in medical science, history, compassion and philanthropy. John Pearce, a neurologist and author of many papers and books, highlights the extraordinary discoveries and services to medicine to the wider community, made by British Quakers, both doctors and scientists.--Publisher's description.
