📚 Medical Care

Books with medical care on their catalogue record, first published between 1859 and 2017, ordered by how many editions are in print.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject medical care in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print, out of the 42,092 works the catalogue holds under that subject. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
