Today, astonishing surgical breakthroughs are making limb transplants, face transplants, and a host of other previously undreamed-of operations possible. But getting here has not been a simple story of medical progress. In Blood and Guts, veteran science writer Richard Hollingham weaves a compelling narrative from the key moments in surgical history. We have a ringside seat in the operating theater of University College Hospital in London as world-renowned Victorian surgeon Robert Liston performs a remarkable amputation in 30 seconds - from first cut to final stitch. Innovations such as Joseph Lister's antiseptic technique, the first open-heart surgery, and Walter Freeman's lobotomy operations, among other breakthroughs, are brought to life in vivid detail. This is popular science writing at its best.

This was a very nice listen to get a glimpse into the colorful history of surgery. It left me wanting a little bit more information about many of the individuals and some of the specialties that were left out. I would highly recommend it to anybody with an interest in the history of surgery

Fascinating brief review of the history of surgery

An informative and enterntaining take on the history of surgery. To those interested in the subject I recommend Lindsay Fitzharris's The Butchering Art and The Facemaker. You will find lots of fascinating details about doctors Robert Liston, Joseph Lister, Harold Gillies and many other pioneers of modern surgery.

This book was VERY interesting!! It was a bit gruesome at times, but it made me sooo very thankful that I’m alive today instead of back then!!

Interesting!
