Teaching with Oral Histories
Teaching with Oral Histories Dominique A. Tobbell Oral histories are invaluable primary sources that have the potential to enhance students’ understanding of the historical period. As Glenn Whitman asserts, Students are engaged by reading interviews because the historical actors become more real as opposed to the processed heroes students often encounter in their textbooks. Such sources provide another perspective when evaluating the past and are…
The Waiting Room by Peter Nicks
Reviewed by: The Waiting Room by Peter Nicks Dominique Tobbell (Peter Nicks, The Waiting Room. International Film Circuit, Open’hood and ITVS, 2012.) The Waiting Room is “a character-driven documentary film,” that goes “behind the doors” of the emergency room (ER) of Highland Hospital, a large public hospital in Oakland, California, that cares for largely uninsured patients.1 The film follows closely the experience of four patients as they move f…
Teaching Medical History with Primary Sources
Teaching Medical History with Primary Sources:Introduction Dominique A. Tobbell Over the last seven years of teaching at the University of Minnesota, I have developed two undergraduate courses that place heavy emphasis on primary sources.

Plow, Town, and Gown
In the 1960s, general practitioners organized themselves into a state-based nationwide political movement that lobbied state legislators and state-funded medical schools to create departments of family practice. They framed their calls in the context of the national shortages of primary care physicians by arguing that those medical schools that received state funding had an obligation to the state to train sufficient numbers of primary care physi…
Pharmaceutical Networks
Pharmaceutical Networks describes how American drug firms,biomedical researchers, physicians, and Congressional reformers shaped the research, regulatory, and policy environments for prescription drugs in the three decades after World War II. In these decades, pharmaceutical reformers in Congress sought to secure passage of legislation that would increase the government's control over drug development, distribution, and practice. They proposed th…
"Who's Winning the Human Race?" Cold War as Pharmaceutical Political Strategy
Between 1959 and 1962, Senator Estes Kefauver led a congressional investigation into the pricing practices of U.S. drug firms. As part of its defense, the industry mobilized the rhetoric of cold war and promoted the industry as a critical national asset in the global war against communism. The industry argued that any effort to undermine corporate innovation by inviting, as Kefauver proposed, greater government involvement in drug development thr…
Allied Against Reform
During the 1960s, the drug industry was the subject of two congressional investigations into its business practices and pricing policies, and in 1962, passage of the Drug Amendments mandated greater Food and Drug Administration authority over pharmaceutical development. In this article, I examine the industry's efforts to circumvent these political challenges by drawing on its longstanding relationship with academic physicians and the American Me…
Medicating Modern America
The past five years have been a tumultuous period for manufacturers, regulators, and consumers of prescription drugs. Several drug companies have had their products pulled from the market and their clinical trials halted in the wake of serious and sometimes fatal adverse drug reactions. Pharmaceutical firms have also been plagued by criticism from journalists, social critics, and physician and patient groups for their large profit margins, their …
