Dr. Mütter's Marvels

a True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine

Captivating reading both as a biography and as a history of how far medicine has come in 150-odd years. Imagine surgery without anesthetic, without recovery rooms or sterile conditions. Most doctors weren't aware of germs and thought "bad air" was the cause of disease.
