Originally published in 1992, Medical Theory, Surgical Practice
examines medical and surgical concepts of disease and their
relation to the practice of surgery, in particular historical
settings. It emphasises that understanding concepts of disease does
not just include recounting explicit accounts of disease given by
medical men. It needs an analysis of the social relations embedded
in such concepts. In doing this, the contributors illustrate how
surgery rose from a relatively humble place in seventeenth century
life to being seen as one of the great achievements of late
Victorian culture. They examine how medical theory and surgical
practices relate to social contexts, how physical diagnosis entered
medicine and whether anaesthesia and Lister's antiseptic techniques
really did cause a revolution in surgical practice.
