Sommario/riassunto: Sean M. Quinlan follows how medical ideas, stemming from the so-called birth of the clinic, zigzagged across the intellectual landscape of the French Revolution and its aftermath. It was a remarkable 'hotspot' in the historical timeline, when doctors and scientists pioneered a staggering number of fields - from forensic investigation to evolutionary biology - and their innovations captivated the public imagination.
