Most humans contain between nine and twelve pints of blood. Here
Rose George, who probably contains nine pints, tells nine different
stories about the liquid that sustains us, discovering what it
reveals about who we are. In Nepal, she meets girls challenging the
taboos surrounding menstruation; in the Canadian prairies, she
visits a controversial plasma clinic; in Wales she gets a tour of
the UK's only leech farm to learn about the vital role the
creatures still play in modern surgery; and in a London hospital
she accompanies a medical team revolutionising the way we treat
trauma. Nine Pints reveals the richness and wonder of the potent
red fluid that courses around our bodies, unseen but miraculous.
