Berner, Boel: Strange Blood

The Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19th Century Medicine and Beyond. In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion was tested as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia, and proposed as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible? This book ventures into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, laboratories and wars, to explore medical knowledge, ambitions, and morality. 214 Seiten mit 31 Abb., broschiert (Medical Humanities; Band 5/transcript 2020) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
