Description
In 1852, a cholera pandemic that was sweeping the globe reached the Bahama Islands. It went on to become the deadliest incident in the history of colony. A Hard Lesson Wasted describes the approach of the epidemic, which in the Victorian era cholera, was the world's most feared disease. Its cause was unknown and there was no effective treatment. The impact of the epidemic in the region, the response of the Imperial Government and how the local administration and medical fraternity managed the epidemic is detailed. Readers will learn of the confusion and mistakes that are repeated with every disaster and will see how, in the aftermath, colony wasted a golden opportunity to reassess and to strengthen its health services.
