The Sawbones Book

The mix of funny anecdotes and horrifying facts keeps the tone lively but informative. I'm curious how the authors decided on this balancing act.

The book highlights some truly gruesome treatments from the past, which made me laugh and wince at the same time. How did others react to these stories?

Some of the more bizarre treatments or discoveries caught me off guard. I wonder which parts the authors found the most shocking or funny to research.
