    About this ebook

    A scandalous account of medical training in late 19th century Fort Wayne, Indiana- as told by a descendant of a physician caught up in the act. Author Van Buskirk untangles and pulls apart complicated narratives, then weaves them into a compelling story of family, scandal, and an appalling history that lurks on the "dark fringes of medicine.
