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

3.0

This book is not what I was expecting. I expected to be intrigued by the science and life of Dr. Mütter, but I would say maybe 50% of this book was actually about him. (And there also wasn't a lot of mention of the "marvels" either.) A lot of this book was about other doctors and the state of medicine during the 1800s. Which, although somehwat interesting, was not what I anticipated going in.

I still plan to visit the museum post-COVID, though.
