Scalpel Mavericks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781730851360)

At the turn of the 19th-century surgery is practiced on office tables, kitchens, large horrendous public gatherings and is considered a 'craft' more than a science. William Halsted has the vision to change surgery forever. But a dark secret haunts him at every corner. His student Harvey Cushing wants to be the best surgeon in the world but soon discovers that ambition can be all-consuming. As a resident, Walter Dandy yearns to work under the Gods of Surgery, only to find that they are all too human. Inspired by Real Events, this is the dramatic story of fathers-sons-teachers-family and the birth of modern surgery, that will make you ask yourself "WHAT IS THE PRICE OF GENIUS?"
