Could You Survive Victorian Surgery?

After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Available for over a year

You're laid out on the surgeon's table. Wide awake. He stands over you knife in hand and behind him, in the stands, is a noisy crowd all joking, smoking and scoffing oysters, waiting for the show to start. Welcome to Victorian surgery! Could you survive? Joining Maddy Pelling and Anthony Delaney this week is Sara Yorath, from the Old Operating Theatre museum in London. Edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
