Question

Doctors had differing opinions of how to treat Yellow Fever, who were two doctors who fought the disease, and how did they treat it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dr. Rush believed in purging the sickness from the body by making the person vomit and drawing blood from them. Dr. Deveze was a French doctor who worked with patients at Bush Hill. He wanted to leave patients in their beds to rest, drink fluids, and improve naturally. To this day Yellow Fever has no exact treatment, rather it is important to prevent it, but both helped flatten the curb of the Fever in the late 1700's
