With Words and Knives: Learning Medical Dispassion in Early Modern England

The practice of medicine in the days before the development of anaesthetics could often be a brutal and painful experience. This book explores the idea of medical dispassion and shows how practitioners developed the intellectual, verbal and manual skill of being able to replace passion with equanimity and distance.
