- This 304-page monograph in seven chapters (plus introduction and conclusion) has taken ten years in research and writing. Informed by previously under-utilised sources from regional and national archives comprising asylum records, bankruptcy and chancery papers and newspapers, it combines statistical analysis with closer investigation of individual stories from memoirs and letters by men in the Indian Medical Service and practitioners’ case-notes. By focusing on how the imperfections of medical practitioners (via chapters on bankruptcy, culpability, sexual assault, murder and madness), the quantitative and qualitative research sheds light on how ‘medical status’ was and is constructed.
