Setting out to anatomise this stereotype, Cold, Hard Steel offers an exciting new history of modern and contemporary British surgery. The book draws on archival materials and original interviews with surgeons, analysing them alongside a range of fictional depictions, from the Doctor in the House novels to Mills & Boon romances and the pioneering soap opera Emergency Ward 10. Presenting a unique social, cultural and emotional history, it sheds light on the development and maintenance of the surgical stereotype and explains why it has proved so enduring. At the same time, the book explores the more candid and compassionate image of the surgeon that has begun to emerge in recent years, revealing how a series of high-profile memoirs both challenge the surgical stereotype and simultaneously confirm it. 410 0$aSocial histories of medicine. 606 $aSurgeons$zGreat Britain$xHistory$3http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85130761 606 $aSurgery$zGreat Britain$xHistory$3http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85130766 606 $aSurgery in literature$3http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94009107 606 $aHistory of Medicine$2mup 606 $aPostwar 20th Century History, From C 1945 To C 2000$2bicssc 606 $aMEDICAL / History$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory of medicine$2thema 615 0$aSurgeons$xHistory. 615 0$aSurgery$xHistory. 615 0$aSurgery in literature. 615 7$aHistory of Medicine 615 7$aPostwar 20th Century History, From C 1945 To C 2000 615 7$aMEDICAL / History 615 7$aHistory of medicine 676 $a617.0941 700 $aArnold-Forster$b Agnes$01588125 702 $aArnold-Forster$b Agnes, 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910800141603321 996 $aCold, hard steel$93877354 997 $aUNINA
