The First Patient is a novel written by Catherine Tilden in 1859. The story is set in Boston and revolves around the Channing Home, a charitable institution for the care of the sick and poor. The book tells the story of a young girl named Mary, who is the first patient admitted to the home. Mary is suffering from a serious illness, and her condition is deteriorating rapidly. The doctors and nurses at the home do everything they can to save her life, but their efforts are complicated by the fact that Mary's illness is highly contagious. The novel explores the themes of compassion, sacrifice, and the importance of community in times of crisis. It is also a fundraising effort for the Channing Home, with all proceeds from the book going to support the institution. The First Patient is a moving and inspiring story that will appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction and stories of overcoming adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
