From its roots as an independent community hospital started 116 years ago by local female leaders, IU Health Bloomington Hospital has grown and thrived while caring for citizens of south-central Indiana. This book highlights the perseverance, farsightedness, and dedication of health care providers and administrators, as well as community and business leaders, in shaping and expanding health care.
The stories of individual nurses and physicians, their expertise and empathy in treating patients, and the hospital’s far-reaching social services reveal the indelible impact the hospital has made in the broad community. Patients’ recollections of the medical care and personal attention they received depict the many ways they benefited and how their lives were improved and saved.
This book traces the hospital’s journey from its first home in a small, red brick building, through numerous expansions and medical advances, to its integration with IU Health’s statewide system. In its new home at the IU Health Regional Academic Health Center, the hospital will continue to flourish, with its state-of-the-art facilities and high-quality personnel who provide care to more than 467,600 people in the 11-county area they serve.

When playing the game of Name, the Ripper, many authors start with a suspect and attempt to make them fit the facts; some can’t even be proved to be in London at the time of the murders. What is required is an ordinary man local to the East End; a man who suffered mental illness and was known to prowl the streets at night. A man with vast experience of wielding a knife in his place of work, and who had family ties to Wentworth Model Dwellings, where the only clue ever left by the killer - a bloodied portion of apron - was discovered. A man whose admission to a lunatic asylum coincided with the cessation of the Whitechapel murders. A man like Jacob Levy. Jacob Levy came to the attention of researchers Neil and Tracy I’Anson many years ago. Their continuing research has brought new evidence to light; sifting through hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of information from various research facilities they came across new undiscovered facts that strengthened their theory, and helped piece together the life of Jacob Levy, including the startling fact that their suspect was a first cousin of Joseph Hyam Levy, the witness at Mitre Square who appeared to be shocked when spotting a man with a woman who was later identified as victim Catherine Eddowes; The Evening News reported that “Mr Levy is absolutely obstinate and refuses to give the slightest information and he leaves one to infer that he knows something but that he is afraid to be called on the inquest.” Jacob the Ripper goes some way to explaining the movements of the Whitechapel murderer, the graffiti at Goulston Street, the actions of the police, the ‘Lipski’ link, and ultimately what happened to the murderer.
Neil I’Anson was born under the sign of Aries in a little village in Yorkshire. He was just five when his father died and the family moved to northeast England, where he now resides. Neil’s desire when he was a teenager was to become an archaeologist, but he couldn’t spell it, so he became a butcher instead, working in the meat industry for five years before entering the retail management field. Neil has been married since he was 21 and has two children and two grandchildren. Since his retirement he has loved walking around the countryside with his dog. His interests are gardening, sport and anything to do with history, be it family or social (he’s just plain nosy). His greatest love is his family.
Tracy I’Anson was born in the late 1970s and admits she is the perfect example of a Gemini – never being able to stick to one project at a time. Her love of history and true crime began at an early age, spending many nights with her father Neil discussing historical crimes, and her interest in genealogical research was stimulated by her own family tree which has now been traced back to the 14th century. She admits she is lucky to love the job she has, managing a pub that also includes giving tours round Camerons brewery, to which the pub is attached. In guiding visitors around the brewery explaining how it works as well as describing its history, Tracy gets to incorporate her two loves in life – history and beer.

The medical profession and criminal law have worked together over the millennia, from the Ancient Egyptians to the present day. Doctors have been asked to interpret wounds since antiquity. In From Wounded Fairies to Sweet Fanny Adams Dr. Peter Moore looks at how doctors got involved in crime, examining the accused or checking injuries, dating from the Edwin Smith papyrus, written in ancient Egypt in about 1600 BC which lists 48 cases involving wounds. He reveals how it was illegal to kill or maim a fairy in the time of Henry III, and how the Tudors and Stuarts didn’t bother with police and doctors, but just boiled criminals. Charting the development of forensic science over the centuries, Dr. Peter Moore explains how the Police medical service gradually became more structured by the mid Nineteenth century, with the introduction of a Chief Surgeon and several Divisional Surgeons, caring for officers and providing medical care to prisoners.
Dr. Peter Moore spent 30 years as a GP, complementing this work with what he calls a ‘hobby’–serving as a police surgeon, spending nights and weekends at the police station seeing burglars, examining victims of sexual assault, or looking at dead bodies. He says it was better than stamp collecting or gardening and helped pay the mortgage.

Shortly afterwards, the family was taken violently ill with stomach pains and vomiting. Next morning a local surgeon, urgently summoned to the Turners’ house in London’s Chancery Lane, identified arsenic in the dough that had been used to make the dumplings. Eliza was immediately arrested and within weeks she found herself on trial for attempted murder at the Central Criminal Court of the Old Bailey. After a hasty and woefully inadequate and prejudicial trial, she was convicted and sentenced to death. On 26 July 1815, wearing a white dress and lilac leather boots, she stood quietly on the scaffold outside Newgate Prison in front of a crowd of 45,000 people who had gathered to watch her die, having repeatedly declared her innocence, yet accepting her fate. The trial of Eliza Fenning is one of the most shameful miscarriages of justice in English criminal history. The Establishment closed ranks, determined to see the pretty servant of Irish descent hang. Despite gaining the support of several eminent liberals such as William Hone, John Watkins and Basil Montagu, who campaigned tirelessly for a reprieve, Eliza Fenning never stood a chance. Trial of Eliza Fenning is an important and deeply moving book. It describes the events leading up to the trial, the trial itself, and its aftermath, making use of many interesting and previously unseen documents that help place the case in its social, political, and cultural context.
