The second volume moves into the age when surgery grew hands. Bettany follows the physicians and surgeons of the later era, the men who mapped nerves, founded hospitals and made the operating theatre something other than a gamble, and traces the profession's quarrelsome climb from trade toward science. Careers built at the bedside, and the reputations made and broken there.
