Blood Work
A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution
Holly Tucker
This fascinating book delves into the deadly politics, fierce debates, and cutthroat rivalries behind the first transfusion experiments in 1667 Paris. After maverick physician Jean Denis transfused calf's blood into one of the city's most notorious madmen, the patient died and Denis was framed for murder. Blood Work offers an unforgettable portrait of an era struggling with issues of morality and experimentation that continue to haunt medical science today.
