En ostindiefarande fältskärs berättelse

This book is an edition of a unique historical document. The text includes the physician Carl Fredrik Adlers' records of the patients he treated over three years, including what they suffered, what treatment they received, and what happened to them. The record is an important medical historical source that provides a more detailed insight into contemporary health care than what one finds in records from Swedish hospitals. It also provides dramatic insights into medical, marine, and human life in the mid-1700s.
