{{Mediawiki:kindlefire}}[[File:Eugenic_Nation.jpg|thumbnail|left|200px|''Eugenic Nation'' by Alexandra Stein]] This is the Top Ten Social History of American Medicine Booklists. First, why did we leave Paul Starr’s <i>[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465079350/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0465079350&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=d54f129a63ca412d922428bd21310fd1 The Social Transformation of American Medicine ]</i> (Basic Books, 1984) off this Top Ten list? It is perhaps the best known American medical history book, and it is an essential reference. Pretty much anyone who has written about the history of American medicine has cited it. Should you read it? Yes. Check it out or buy it and skim the parts that interest you. It is probably the one book on the list that most historians are aware of and that is why we left it off.

We also left off William Rothstein's <i>[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0801844274/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0801844274&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=93c00467091eecc6a379c0f7dba5f7ec American Physicians in the Nineteenth Century: From Sects to Science ]</i> (Johns Hopkins University Press, reprint edition 1992) and Judith Walzer Leavitt's <i>[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195056906/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0195056906&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=76d313d4e5533d44ed8af47f7d971909 Brought to Bed: Child-Rearing in America, 1750-1950 ]</i> (Oxford University Press, 1986) for similar reasons.
