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.

Little disclaimer aside, this is a wonderful jaunt through the murky depths of medicine's past. Whether you want to learn how transplants first came into being, the pit-falls and benefits that come with them, or if you have a desire to learn why ice-pick lobotomies are an incredibly bad idea, or how surgery has gone from educated guess work to, pun intended, surgical precision, this is the book for you.
For the more morbidly curious of readers out there, this does, of course, come with a plethora of tales about the first souls that underwent new procedures and the tragedies that befell them. It's an eye-opening look into how far we've come and sparks a bit of thought, at least in my mind, as to how far we may yet go, where surgery and, indeed, all of medicine is concerned.
At it's core, I feel this book is meant to spark curiosity and interest in those who do not typically look at this subject as an area they would normally spend their reading time on. And, in that, it certainly succeeds.
The narration of this book was wonderful and suited the subject matter perfectly
A great introduction to Surgery's past
