Things for the Surgeon: The Body Snatchers of Georgian London
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that events are still happening.
Enthusiastic Georgian surgeons and medical students weren't content with just watching other people practice, leading to a demand for human bodies which the legal suppliers could not keep up with. This talk tells of London's eighteenth-century bodysnatchers, who raised the dead in the name of medicine, and even got away with murder. Not suitable for under-12s. Booking essential.
