Last night I literally reached the midpoint of a biography on Dr. Benjamin Rush by Fried and after reading all the trouble the doctor took to educate Washington and the Continental Congress (and even fellow physicians) and advocate vociferously time and time again for smallpox inoculation and various other public health changes, I feel a bit of angst about making sure people know Dr. Rush should receive the credit!
