The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine by Lindsey Fitzharris

dark informative medium-paced

5.0

Some very vivid and dark descriptions but a wonderful telling of the revolution of medicine at the hands of Dr. Joseph Lister. I found there was enough detail but not so much it detracted and the story of his life and discoveries was told fluidly and engaging.
