About the book
"CINEMA MD argues that within cinema there is a history of medicine-one version in the many different histories of Medicine. This strikingly original book establishes how cinema depicts medicine is depicted and what can we learn from it. This is the first full treatise of the depiction of medicine in film in all its glory and all its failures. It is an account of all the major films with medical themes. The book asks a number of critical questions. Filmmakers did not only depict physicians, nurses, hospitals and asylums, epidemics, diseases and disabilities, mental illness and addictions, medical feats such as organ transplantations, but they also tackled death and dying, medical experimentation, and medical monsters where the isolation and mistreatment is front and center."--
