    • Abstract:
      Sean Quinlan's I Morbid Undercurrents i reminds us that medicine has always been this way. Here, Quinlan focuses on the work of Jean-Galbert Salvage, an artist and surgeon obsessed with ancient sculpture. The final two chapters add more to Quinlan's collage through discussions of Mesmerism and physiology. [Extracted from the article]
