Medicine in Milford

The general topic of medicine is subject to change, almost without notice. New medications and new procedures are commonplace. Medicine in Milford portrays a trip on the time train from the 1950s into the third millennium, on that subject. It provides a genealogical glimpse of the medical family constituting the engine of medical care in the Milford Hospital, and in the community, of Milford Connecticut. The medical staff is divided into general practitioners and specialists. More detail is devoted to those on staff in the earlier period. A common meeting place for the medical staff at the hospital was the doctor's dressing room, in the book called the Rendezvous Room. Street clothes were exchanged here for operating togs, opinions aired and issues discussed. The book details some of the discussions and describes many of those who served so well, all wrapped in a bit of nostalgia.
