- Abstract
However, he observes similarities in medical practitioners in the workhouse and voluntary hospitals, in which Birmingham nurses "moved between the two types of institutions" to reiterate that the workhouse was not inferior (p. 217). In I Sickness in the Workhouse i , Ritch offers a comprehensive glimpse into the Victorian workhouse infirmary. Despite the workhouse's association with incurable inmates, Ritch also analyses acute patients and surgical cases to elaborate on the role of the workhouse infirmary.
