The Facemaker (Electronic book text, New edition)

Graham Trevose is an ardent pioneer of reconstructive surgery, having seen its huge benefit in the hands of a talented American surgeon. However London is not America, and this new form of treatment is received with deep suspicion by orthodox medicine. It is seen as defying God's will and interfering with matters entirely out of bounds. Yet Trevose is completely committed to this work and uses it to help those in desperate need--while also benefiting from performing plastic surgery on the rich and famous. The ethical debates that perplexed medical men in post-First World War London are surely the very ones that today's doctors are grappling with as they face the issues of human cloning, animal organ transplants, and embryo screening. Richard Gordon's "The Facemaker" is as relevant today as it ever was.
