Description

These medical essays range into seldom-explored but curious parts of the anatomy and human experience, including Samuel Pepys' troublesome 'plumbing'; the bullet that killed Lord Nelson; a reappraisal of Florence Nightingale; New Zealand's first urologist; light and shade in medicine's past, and its challenging future; alcohol and the medical profession; male and female circumcision; sex throughout the ages.
