In an era when bloodletting was considered a cure for everything from colds to
smallpox, surgeon John Hunter was a medical innovator, an eccentric, and the person
to whom anyone who has ever had surgery probably owes his or her life. In this
sensational and macabre story, we meet the surgeon who counted not only luminaries
Benjamin Franklin, Lord Byron, Adam Smith, and Thomas Gainsborough among his
patients but also “resurrection men” among his close acquaintances. A captivating
portrait of his ruthless devotion to uncovering the secrets of the human body, and the
extraordinary lengths to which he went to do so—including body snatching,
performing pioneering medical experiments, and infecting himself with venereal
disease—this rich historical narrative at last acknowledges this fascinating man and
the debt we owe him today.
