This was an period when a damaged leg might result in amputation, when surgeons usually lacked college levels, and had been nonetheless recognized to ransack cemeteries to search out cadavers. Whereas the invention of anaesthesia considerably lessened the distress for sufferers, satirically it led to extra deaths, as surgeons took higher dangers. In squalid, overcrowded hospitals, medical doctors remained baffled by the persistent infections that saved mortality charges stubbornly excessive.
At a time when surgical procedure couldn’t have been extra harmful, an unlikely determine stepped ahead: Joseph Lister, a younger, melancholy Quaker surgeon.
