Surgery: A Journey Through Time and Today
Surgery has been a vital part of human history for thousands of years, with stone-age surgery, surgery in the time of Nelson, body snatchers, and operating theatres today. This fascinating book explores the history of surgery, from its earliest beginnings to the present day.

Stone-Age Surgery:
Stone-age surgery was a primitive form of surgery that was used to treat injuries and illnesses. It involved using sharp stones, bone needles, and other tools to cut and manipulate the body. These surgeries were often performed by shamans or other spiritual leaders who believed that they had the power to heal.

Surgery in the Time of Nelson:
During the time of Nelson, surgery was a much more advanced form of surgery. It involved the use of anesthesia, surgical instruments, and surgical techniques. Nelson was a skilled surgeon who performed many surgeries, including amputations, appendectomies, and gallbladder surgeries.

Body Snatchers:
Body snatching was a practice that occurred during the 18th and 19th centuries. It involved the stealing of bodies from graveyards and selling them to medical schools for dissection. This practice was illegal and unethical, but it was a common way for medical students to learn about anatomy.

Operating Theatres Today:
Operating theatres today are much more advanced than they were in the past. They are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including surgical robots, imaging machines, and anesthesia machines. These theatres are designed to provide a safe and efficient environment for surgeons to perform surgeries.

True Story of a Wilderness Hiker Faced with a Terrible, Life-or-Death Decision:
One of the most interesting stories in this book is the true story of a wilderness hiker who faced a terrible, life-or-death decision. The hiker was hiking in the mountains when he was attacked by a bear. He was badly injured and was unable to move.

The hiker's friends and family were contacted, and they rushed to the scene to help him. However, the bear was still attacking the hiker, and it was clear that he was going to die. The hiker's friends and family decided to perform a surgery to remove the bear's teeth and claws.

The surgery was a success, and the hiker was able to recover. However, the surgery was also a very risky procedure. The hiker's friends and family had to make a difficult decision to perform the surgery, knowing that there was a high risk of death.
