A Manual of the Operations of Surgery

More about the book

Joseph Bell, renowned for his surgical expertise and influence on Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, authored this instructional manual for new doctors. It emphasizes the best surgical methods of his time and features meticulous illustrations to aid learning. The text is a careful re-edit of the revised fifth edition, preserving all original plates and figures in black and white. While it offers valuable insights into the history of medicine, it is not intended for contemporary surgical guidance.
