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

3.0

A fascinating look at the man who revolutionized anesthesia, how he got there, and the rivals he battled over the decades. It has some pretty fascinating (read: gross and morbid) facts about medical procedures in the 1800's that kept it interesting. You should also check out River City Reading's review of the book, which she pairs with a movie.
