I purchased this book for my wife and me (we are both medical students who are planning on entering surgical residency next year), and we both enjoyed it immensely! Very well-written, and a pleasure to read.Speaking as a "lay-person" who would never want to be referred to as such - please do not be deterred by reviews that describe this as a superficial/lay-person's text - it is not a comprehensive account of the minutia of surgical history, nor is it a surgical reference book, and I am confident that Richard Hollingham never intended it to be either. It is, however, a well-composed, engaging narrative of several key moments in the history of surgical practice. This book was recommended to me by one of the core surgical faculty at my home institution - he wanted to spark my curiosity, and he succeeded. I will certainly continue to read other surgical history books - dryer, deeper, longer books - but I will never discount the value of this book. This is the book that made me excited to learn about the history of surgery, and I am grateful to the surgeon who recommended it to me!
I thought this book was nicely written with quite graphic depiction of various surgical events, which has made my reading experience immersive.The author is very honest about the fact that this book cannot be comprehensive in covering the history of all the surgical specialties or advances. However, in the specialties/advances that he wrote about, he did a good job on providing detailed history (like anesthetics, antisepsis, cardio surgery, etc.).Just for people who don't like or cannot stand gruesome scenes, some of the historical events that he wrote about are rather graphic and detailed. Therefore, this book might not be for everyone.
As someone who teaches students who are going in to nursing and pre-med I'm always looking for good medical history books with stories to share. This definitely fit the bill. I knew some of the information, but not as much as as this book supplied. I still find it miraculous, these men during the 1800's and the thinking they did, and the research they did to finally move surgery forward into being more than an act of butchery. I also am very glad that I did not live back them.This is a great book for those who want to learn more history in this area. It isn't a textbook, and it doesn't write like a textbook. For something like medical history you don't want the dry writing seen with textbooks. This is a history, and it tries and succeeds in making medical history alive, which is what you want.
This was a wonderful book that explores fascinating medical procedures and cases and how the practice evolved over the centuries. It not only delves into the pre-Lister days of amputations without anesthetics or antiseptics and crazy pre-Victorian cosmetic surgery, but brings it all the way to present day heart / organ transplants and brain surgery which were once thought impossible. You really learn a lot of how much of what we know today was because of trial and error of surgeons (and want to be surgeons). I highly recommend this as a great addition to the amazing "The Butchering Art" by Lindsey Fitzharris. There's some overlap, but what overlaps really compliments the other. Next on my list is "The Knife Man" by Wendy Moore as I think it adds another important piece to these histories.
This book had me hooked from the very first chapter when the author used himself as a guinea pig to test the old practice of using leeches for medicinal purposes. This got the conversational ball rolling for me and my friends, and we went on to more conversations about the ethics of doctors doing cosmetic surgery that they know will shorten the patient's lifespan. The author went from one fascinating topic to another. I did not know that at one point cosmetic surgery was done by injecting super hot wax under the skin, and then molding it before it hardened. The chapter about repairing the bodies of horribly mutilated soldiers during WWI and II was amazing. Some stories were just humorous. For instance, one wartime surgeon had the idea of using electro- magnets to pull shrapnel out of wounds. Unfortunately, he didn't think about all the metal knives in the OR, so when they turned the magnet on sharp surgical instruments started flying from everywhere. Oooops. Then there was the funny story about the pig that was brought in as a source for a transplant. It got loose, and the doctor had to go chasing it. Some hospital visitors were startled to find a pig on the elevator. I learned a lot, and had a lot of fun learning it. I wish there were more books by this author. I'm thinking about trying to find a DVD of the TV series that inspired this book.
The exploration of medicine/surgery is jaw dropping as you read this book. The details make you feel you're watching history come alive and very grateful to live in this era! Great read to discover how and why medicine is a continuous practice that advances with good purpose.
