Synopsis

Delight in a witty, accessible look at the world of 19th‑century medicine and its grand, sometimes ridiculous pomp. This collection blends verse, anecdotes, and thoughtful commentary to unpack how doctors and surgeons shaped modern care.

From sharp critiques of medical showmanship to vivid stories of real cases, the book offers a window into conservatism in surgery and the human side of medical progress. It balances humor with practical insight, making the past feel close and relevant.

• Satirical poems that lampoon medical pomposity and the era’s big personalities


• Clear explanations of conservative surgery and why saving tissue mattered then as now


• Charismatic stories of patients and clinicians that illuminate historical medical practice


• A reflective voice that invites readers to consider science, ethics, and progress

Ideal for readers of medical history, humor, and humanities who enjoy a thoughtful, accessible take on how the past informs present care.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
