Richard and others, this article is about Medicine, the history of the Medical profession in the United States and, medical education - as pointed out in the original introduction. The business about the diseases in the New World being few and far between as compared to the old world was mentioned because it lead to a great financial support of public quarrentine facilities in NYC, that laid the foundation for public hospitals. These, especially after the Flexner report in 1910, led to a system of medical education that combined University training with post-graduate residency training, on a model of John Hopkins, that incorporated some of the great public hospitals of the United States with the finest of the University Medical Schools. This article can also expand on some of the topics brought up in Chiropractic. Although I am very open to others input, and am particularly delighted at a historian's interest, the" Public Health" or" History of Epidemic and Infectious Diseases" or "Medical history of the population of the United States" is really an ''entirely'' different article. I'm not coming up with a great title, but I encourage you to do so, Richard. We can move the disease and life span, neonatal mortality etc stuff there. Here, this article should fit in with a larger History of Medicine article, and this one should concentrate on the fascinating history of the medical ''profession'' in US.
