Woven among these personal recollections are significant events in medical history: Wilhelm Rontgen’s discovery of the X-ray; Sigmund Freud’s development of psychoanalysis; John Hunter’s attempts to set surgery on a scientific footing and the artist Jan van Rymsdyk, on the anatomy of pregnant bodies.
