THE BOOK: “Dr. Mutter's Marvels”

Dr. Mütter, the man behind the infamous Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, was one of the world’s first plastic surgeons - correcting horrible disfigurements, diseases and burns so that his patients could live a normal life and no longer be labeled by their insensitive generation as mere “monsters.” He was also one of the pioneering proponents of using ether as anesthesia in surgery and other outrageous new techniques - like sterilizing his tools! Based on 15 years of research and illustrated with dozens of historical (and exclusive) photographs, DR. MÜTTER’S MARVELS explores the chaotic progression of modern medicine and this flamboyant, eccentric man who changed American surgery forever.
