Consistently Eccentric History

Joseph Lister - Let's improve hospital care... WITH ACID


Listen Later

We are back with the Quakers this week as we delve into the medical career of Joseph Lister, a surgeon who had the gall to care about his patients even after he had sewn them up.


With a cameo from Queen Victoria's armpit and a short detour into American capitalism, this is a story that goes to show that innovation will always be challenged and that ultimately it is the opinion of the coming generation that matters most.
