Praise for this book
"What does the surgeon's table owe to the factory floor? Caitjan Gainty reveals this and much more in her subtle, surprising, and endlessly fascinating account of American medical practitioners' encounter with early-twentieth-century industrial efficiency experts. Applying an historian's scalpel to the rationalizing but also egalitarian ambitions of the era when medicine modernized, she adroitly lays bare the tensions--past and present--of healthcare provision in a capitalist democracy."--Sarah E. Igo, author of "The Known Citizen: A History of Privacy in Modern America"
