Num Pages: 400 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: FA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 130 x 29. Weight in Grams: 280.
As in all hospitals, the medical hierarchy of The House of God was a pyramid - a lot at the bottom and one at the top.Put another way it was like an ice-cream cone...you had to lick your way up!
