This history by retired Spartanburg physician W.C. Herbert offers an
entertaining and insightful overview of local medicine from the origins of
medical practice in the Spartanburg region to the late twentieth century.
Residents of the area and present-day medical practitioners and their families
will be particularly interested in the biographical section, which contains
material gathered from the obituaries of over a hundred well-known physicians
who practiced in Spartanburg, while history buffs and antiquarians will find the
accounts of eighteenth and nineteenth-century medical methods, diagnoses, and
treatments especially informative. A long chapter on Spartanburg Hospitals
contains, in addition to many facts about and photographs of clinics and
hospitals in the area, anecdotes about the physicians who practiced in them, an
account of the World War I influenza epidemic, and information about the highly
important work done in Spartanburg with pellagra patients. Two sections on the
County Medical Society contain historical information as well as lists of
officers both past and present.
