Neurosurgery before Science
Taking a Chance
This book traces the development of surgery from Hippocrates to the nineteenth century, analysing procedures like bloodletting and the myth of laudable pus. It demonstrates the profession’s resistance to new ideas, preferring accepted notions even when evidence confounds them.
