Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the experiences of Dr. James R. Manley, as the Resident Physician for New York City during the 1832 Cholera epidemic. Tensions arose when the Board of Health appointed a special commission of medical advisors to assist the board, to which Dr. Manley was excluded. He subsequently writes a series of letters to the Board of Health and to Recorder Richard Riker, the key figure behind these decisions. In the letters, Dr. Manley articulates his concerns, explores the Board of Health's conduct, and disputes Recorder Riker's motives. Ultimately, these letters offer valuable insights into the management of public health crises, the dynamics of decision-making in the face of uncertainty, and the ethical dilemmas that arise during such times. They underscore the importance of transparency, cooperation, and trust in safeguarding the well-being of communities during epidemics.
