1800+hospitals

Medicine in the late 1700's was very primitive, and people did not understand how disease spread.When the fever struck the capital there where only about 80 doctors in the city. Most had some medical training but others like Mr.Rowley were not.There were two groups of doctors in the dying city, Dr.Rush and his followers and the French doctor Dr. Jean. He gave his sick rest, fresh air and lots of fluids.This is the best way to treat and is still today.
