Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Mustering of Medical Service in Scotland, 1914-1919: Being a Record of the Work of the Scottish Medical Service Emergency Committee in the War The Scottish Medical Service Emergency Committee has wisely resolved to publish an account of its work during the years 1914-1919. The story, as told by Capt. Currie in the following pages, is not merely interesting as a record of Scottish endeavour. It possesses a special value to a profession awakened to the important position it should occupy as an authority in State affairs. In 1914 the leaders of the medical profession in Scotland assumed administrative and executive functions for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the civil population, while at the same time arranging for the provision of medical aid to the Military Services of the Crown. The general mobilization of the Territorial Force and of the Reserve had withdrawn from civil avocations a large proportion of the Scottish profession. It became obvious that, as events developed, larger demands would be made upon its already diminished strength. At this crisis the profession in Scotland, with remarkably unanimity, entrusted its leaders with plenary powers. This was a voluntary submission to trusted authorities. The movement, had it been official, could not have attained the like success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
