Document Summary

This article by bonnie blustein is an interesting look at the history of specialization in a way which differs from other articles of this seminar day. In it she uses the historical figures of beard and hammond, two leaders in the field of specialized neurology in the 19th century to trace the trajectory of the field. She begins in broader terms by analyzing the history of specialization through the lens of fields such as ophthalmology. She then goes into the reasons why specialization was regarded as problematic specifically citing the perceived decline of general practitioners who had a personal connection with the patients they treated. These general practitioners would be one of the main forces fighting against specialization and specifically against neurology for the remaining history of the specialization movement.
