About this listen
From Rocks to Robots: The Evolution of Western Surgery takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the gripping, often gruesome, but always remarkable history of surgery—from ancient Greek healers performing primitive operations with bronze instruments, through the battlefield heroics of Renaissance surgeons, to the sterile precision of robotic surgery today.
Richly illustrated with firsthand accounts, dramatic case studies, and intimate portraits of legendary surgeons like Hippocrates, Galen, and William Halsted, this book reveals the human stories behind surgical milestones.
Blending history, biography, and vivid storytelling, it shows how courage, innovation, and sometimes desperate necessity drove humanity to overcome pain, infection, and disease.
From Rocks to Robots is a captivating exploration for anyone fascinated by medicine, history, and humanity’s relentless quest to heal.
