Brilliant, volatile and invariably male, the surgeon stereotype is
a widespread and instantly recognisable part of western culture.
Setting out to anatomise this stereotype, Cold, hard steel offers
an exciting new history of modern and contemporary British surgery.
The book draws on archival materials and original interviews with
surgeons, analysing them alongside a range of fictional depictions,
from the Doctor in the House novels to Mills & Boon romances
and the pioneering soap opera Emergency Ward 10. Presenting a
unique social, cultural and emotional history, it sheds light on
the development and maintenance of the surgical stereotype and
explains why it has proved so enduring. At the same time, the book
explores the more candid and compassionate image of the surgeon
that has begun to emerge in recent years, revealing how a series of
high-profile memoirs both challenge the surgical stereotype and
simultaneously confirm it. -- .
