This was the world of medicine when Thomas Dent M\u00fctter began his trailblazing career as a plastic surgeon in Philadelphia during the mid-nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<p> Although he died at just forty-eight, M\u00fctter was an audacious medical innovator who pioneered the use of ether as anesthesia, the sterilization of surgical tools, and a compassion-based vision for helping the severely deformed, which clashed spectacularly with the sentiments of his time. Brilliant, outspoken, and brazenly handsome, M\u00fctter was flamboyant in every aspect of his life. He wore pink silk suits to perform surgery, added an umlaut to his last name just because he could, and amassed an immense collection of medical oddities that would later form the basis of Philadelphia\u2019s renowned M\u00fctter Museum.<\/p>\n<p> Award-winning writer Cristin O\u2019Keefe Aptowicz vividly chronicles how M\u00fctter\u2019s efforts helped establish Philadelphia as a global mecca for medical innovation\u2014despite intense resistance from his numerous rivals. (Foremost among them: Charles D. Meigs, an influential obstetrician who loathed M\u00fctter\u2019s \u201coverly modern\u201d medical opinions.) In the narrative spirit of\u00a0The Devil in the White City,\u00a0Dr. M\u00fctter\u2019s Marvels\u00a0interweaves an eye-opening portrait of nineteenth-century medicine with the riveting biography of a man once described as the \u201c[P. T.] Barnum of the surgery room.\u201d    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Avery; Reprint edition (September 8, 2015) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 384 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1592409253 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1592409259 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 14.5 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.94 x 0.98 x 9.02 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book to be a great, enjoyable read with rich history and detail.
