Dr. Mütter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz

3.0

Interesting and fairly entertaining, especially having been to the museum and as a resident of Philadelphia. However, suffered from making the main subject into something more than a man and also diverging far too frequently into long and only mildly interesting other happenings in medicine at the time. Also, why do so many historical-type books insist on both direct quotes from source material and then summarizing the quote at length? Makes everything very repetitive.
