"In 1841, a quiet, curious boy who stuttered when nervous committed to becoming a surgeon--a profession then more feared than respected.

Despite others scoffing at his ideas, Lister slowly changed the way all surgeons work, saving countless lives"-- Provided by publisher. 20240119. Lister, Joseph Baron 1827-1912.
