Tiktok star Dr Suzie Edge is here to guide you through macabre medical firsts in all their gory and gruesome detail.
Meet the Victorian body snatchers, witness beginner’s dissection and see how broken bones used to be shoved back into place. From nasty neolithic skull-drilling to rasping Roman skull-filling, Dr Suzie Edge will leave no body part uncovered in her quest to demystify medicine.
Equally fascinating and DISGUSTING, A Hole in the Head is the perfect gift for anyone fascinated by grossness in all its technicolour glory.
Suzie Edge trained as a biologist before becoming a medical doctor, to spend more time talking to people, rather than just bugs in test tubes. She’s worked as a doctor in infectious diseases, haematology, and trauma and orthopaedic surgery. She has also completed a MLitt in Modern History to feed her fascination for the history of the human body and medicine.
She loves discovering the real historical stories of how we have treated our human bodies in life and in death. She has over 7.6 million likes and 380,000 followers on TikTok, who love tuning into her stories of gruesome and fascinating medical history.
She has been nominated for BookTok Author of the Year 2023.
