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

4.0

I love reading about the history of medicine and learning about how much things have changed over time. I knew that there was a time when anesthesia hadn't been discovered, but hadn't really understood how that would affect the patients who were being operated on especially if their surgeon was a total arrogant ass. It was nice to read about one who wasn't. Dr. Mutter was pretty awesome and many of his innovations have continued to the present. I hope someday to visit the museum where many of his original specimens are housed.
