A hospital runs on clean linen, scrubbed floors and a well-ordered pantry as surely as on medicine. Charlotte Aikens set down the practical art of hospital housekeeping, from wards to kitchens to the management of staff. A grounded record of the domestic backbone of early institutional care. See the unglamorous labor that kept the sick ward safe.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
