the best source of trivia for people that LOVE BOTCHED SURGERY

portrays surgeons honestly: as charismatic self centered borderline sociopaths, but ALSO IS VERY AWARE OF HOW THEIR INSANE PRACTICES MADE IT SO WE CAN GET CUT OPEN AND LIVE TODAY

apparently theres a bbc show that goes alongside this book, but living in the states im having a horrible time finding it

i almost dont want to recommend this book because i want to withhold all the amazing facts for myself
