Good detailed book about Mütter himself (and I want to go visit the museum now!), but even more fascinatingly, Aptowicz describes a medical profession that during Mütter's time and with his contribution, grew up rapidly from the wild guesses and savage amputations to an ever more methodical and defined profession.

Picked this book up on the recommendation of a dear friend, did not regret.
