Dr. Mutter's Marvels

Stars 5/5
Dr. Mutter's Marvels by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz

Wow! I really enjoyed this book. The book follows the life of Dr. Thomas Mutter. The tragedy in his youth that left him without his parents through til the end of his life and all his accomplishments in between. Dr. Mutter did so much to change medicine with sterilization of instruments to helping the severely deformed patients including burn victims. Thomas Mutter was sickly most of his life and died way too early at the age of forty eight. His museum is still open to this day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I highly recommend this book. It is written so very well that I just flew through the pages.
