The Butchering Art Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine
Step into the blood-soaked operating theaters of Victorian England, where surgeons relied on speed and sheer force, and post-operative infections were a death sentence. This gripping narrative follows Joseph Lister, a determined Quaker surgeon, as he confronts the era's baffling mortality rates. Fitzharris masterfully chronicles Lister's groundbreaking, and initially controversial, theory that invisible germs were the culprit, and his radical solution that would usher in modern, antiseptic medicine.
