Absolutely fascinating on so many levels - one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. The history of modern surgery depicted here makes one glad to have come along a bit later.

It was a page-turning read that I couldn't put down.
It was well written, and explained surgical procedures/medical terms thoroughly for a non-medical professional like me. It details Dr. Halsted's life/career and those that were closest to him. I thoroughly enjoyed the medical history lesson.
