"Medical Investigation in Seventeenth Century England" by Charles W. Bodemer and Lester S. King is a historical exploration of medical progress in 17th-century England, revealing how medical understandings transformed during this pivotal era. The book, rooted in seminars from the 1960s, dissects advancements in embryology, charting a course from simple descriptions to more complex mechanistic interpretations, spotlighting figures like Sir Kenelm Digby and Nathaniel Highmore. Furthermore, a significant portion of the book shines a light on Robert Boyle, an unlikely medical influencer, whose chemical experiments and detailed clinical observations challenged the traditional medical wisdom, and paved the way for a more modern approach to medical research.
