“Blood Work: A Tale of Medicine and Murder in the Scientific Revolution 1st Edition” is a great book on medical history. Holly Tucker is the author of this book. She is a Professor at Vanderbilt University (Nashville) where she teaches French history and culture. Holly Tucker has a masterful way of making the past come to life. Her book Blood Work takes us from dissection rooms in palaces to the streets of Paris, providing an unforgettable portrait of an era that wrestled with the same questions about morality and experimentation that haunt medical science today.

It is a great book to read if you want to understand how far the back medical research goes, and many of the obstacles that are put in the way of those who do research.

The complex interaction between English and French scientists, private vs. government sponsorship, and the poisonous lengths some people went to in forcing their opinions on others are very instructive. In summary, if you are interested in the medical field and like history, this is the book for you.
