Howell Ch 1&2

      The first thing I noticed when beginning this book was the difference between the way Howell explains things and the way Humphreys explains things. Th
      Throughout the first chapter of Technology Transforming Medicine there were a lot of graphs. The way the organization of hospitals in the 1900's through 1925 was explained in a very scientific way, by expanding on the different machines and progress that had developed with machines throughout twenty five years. The different tools that were used to make things more efficient and quick were also mentioned in chapter one.
     In chapter two, Howell talks about the organization, and different levels of work in the hospital. Also chapter two talks about and compares different areas and the hospitals in those different areas. The way hospitals were organized was systematic in separating administers. The organization used in the 1900-1925 was the beginning process of helping hospitals run more efficiently and quickly.
     Although the writing style of Technology Transforming Medicine is completely different than Marrow's Tragedy, it still explains medicine in a chronological and systematic way.
