T. Barnum of the surgery room.” Brilliant, outspoken, and brazenly handsome, Mütter was flamboyant in every aspect of his life.

Award-winning writer Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz vividly chronicles how Mütter’s efforts helped establish Philadelphia as a global mecca for medical innovation—despite intense resistance from his numerous rivals.
