“Sickness is a baffling matter”: A reply to James C. Riley (1997)

unapi

Description “This paper replies to the comments made by James C. Riley. It provides a defense of the assumptions adopted in `Physician, heal thyself' (Social History of Medicine, 1996, 9: 1-30) to estimate the average duration of work-preventing sickness experienced by members of the medical profession in England in the 1860s as well as offering some new estimates.”
