The Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM) and the Center for the History of Medicine are co-sponsoring a talk by Dr. Jason Karlawish, Professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics and the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Karlawish will discuss his forthcoming novel, "Open Wound: The Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beaumont," a story based on true events along the early 19th century American frontier. A reception will follow the talk, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
