 * I didn't know anything about Benjamin Rush before I read the book called fever 1793. This is a novel which set during the Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic. After I read that book, I could get some information about him. The first thing I noticed about him was that he was related to yellow fever and bloodletting. Also, in the book, he treated the patients even if the other doctors wouldn't help. Then I was wondering about Benjamin Rush's other significant historical achievement.


 * **My historical question is that what were some effects that are caused after Benjamin Rush’s treatment for yellow fever.**
 * **I expect to find some different answers and opinions. Mostly it had positive effects. In the beginning except for Rush, not many people supported the bloodletting because they thought that it doesn’t even have any effect and waste of blood. After the certain amount of time, this treatment started to show some positive effects. Also, Benjamin Rush treated the patients patiently while other doctors didn’t treat because they thought it is dangerous.**
