Invasion of the Body: History of Surgery Book

Hi Everyone,

I am always on the look-out for new ways to increase my medical knowledge. I recently discovered, "Invasion of the Body:

Revolutions in Surgery", written by Nicholas L. Tilney, MD, and published in 2011 by Havard University Press. "Tilney tells the story of modern surgery and the revolutions that have transformed the field: anesthesia, prevention of infection, etc." in a very interesting and educational manner while still being easy for the layperson (like myself) to understand.

His views on the modern HMO are fascinating as well as when he delves into the history of surgery.

I was surprised to learn that cataract couching began in India in the 6th century BC, for instance. In any case, I think this very informative book will delight and entertain those with medfet interests.

Have you read anything interesting these days 😘 ?
