The Finale - John Hunter, the Founder of Scientific Surgery

This is the final episode for the Poor Historians Podcast. It's been a wonderful ride and we're happy to end on what we think is a high note, talking about the topic that interested Dr. Max in starting a show about medical history in the first place. The chief source for this episode is "The Knife Man" a book by Wendy Moore talking about the life, times, and accomplishments of the Scottish Surgeon, John Hunter. You may not know it, but so many advances in medicine (and past episodes of our show) owe him a debt of thanks. We thank everyone for listening and supporting our show and for sending us all the wonderful messages over the years. With much love from Dr. Max, Dr. Aaron, Dr. Mike, and Alba.
