The Icepick Surgeon: Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetuated in the Name of Science by Sam Kean
3.0
TLDR: The Road to Hell is Paved in Good Intentions.
We've all heard that they used to rob graves so that doctors-in-training could use them as cadavers. This book covers this and more, stemming all the way into the modern day.
This book was interesting overall, but I deeply disliked the constant reference to go see Podcast A or B. Because it comes in the form of the narrator listing off the URL. It reminds me of when someone prints off a document that used a hyperlink to link to other resources. I'm not able to really use this while I'm listening to a book, and can't really find in going back to it.
