Kind of love that this ends with the straw on the camels back sort of event 😵
I'm technically finished, I'll update tomorrow but this book was definetly a ride! The amount of *audacity* of the physicians/doctors/experimentalists (because let's face it, they were given the chance to PLAY doctor.) My info dumping personality was for the drama

Some of these older surgeries were crazy. Not to mention the absurd romanticization of blood letting.
