Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of medicine and surgery in the 18th century, specifically focusing on the controversial division between physicians and surgeons.

The author dissects the complex and often contentious relationship between physicians and surgeons, illuminating the power struggles, professional rivalries, and societal biases that defined the medical landscape of the time.
