Customer Reviews

Well written fiction based on medical history and fact.

As a medical student, I found this to be a particularly interesting and fun read. In a very descriptive style, it chronicles the first applications of anesthesiology and also the birth of epidemiology. This novel is very well suited for those interested in the history of medicine.
