He Made Ice and Changed the World

The Story of Florida's John Gorrie

Beschreibung

A biography of Dr. John Gorrie (1803-1855)--a physician, inventor, scientist, elected official, and a public health educator-- whose interest in tropical diseases, specifically yellow fever and malaria, led him to Apalachicola, Florida. There he practiced medicine in his office and two hospitals, and was nicknamed "The Fever Man." A man of tue compassion, Dr. Gorrie even used the second floor of his home to treat sick patients. The desire to comfort patients led to his inventions, and we can thank Dr. Gorrie for refrigeration, air conditioning, and ice.
