Drawing on archival materials and original interviews with surgeons, the book analyses these alongside fictional depictions ranging from the Doctor in the House novels to Mills \u0026amp; Boon romances and the soap opera Emergency Ward 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003eThe book traces how the surgical stereotype developed and why it has proved so enduring, while also exploring the more candid and compassionate image of the surgeon that has begun to emerge in recent years. It shows how a series of high-profile memoirs both challenge the surgical stereotype and simultaneously confirm it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003eThis publisher PDF is the first
