From leeches to transfusions to blood borne illnesses, this book covers you in blood. How, for so long, did people think the key was to drain it? Blood is our life giving force, it caries nutrients and oxygen to our cells. Bleeding out is one of the fastest ways to death. Discovering how to transfuse blood has saved so many people. George covers so many topics here, our attitudes, our fear of, the way blood products are handled. She does it with a deft hand, a little tongue in cheek at times but quite comprehensive in the research and even provides a list for further reading.
