Welcome to Season 2 of "In the Same Vein"! In this episode, Jan Gao - a recent graduate from the MS in Health Humanities and Bioethics at the University of Rochester - serves as co-host. We talk to the historian Agnes Arnold-Forster about her recent book Cold, Hard Steel: The Myth of the Modern Surgeon (University of Manchester Press, 2023). In addition to many other topics, we discuss persistent myths about and stereotypes of the modern surgeon, how historical work can influence health practice and policy, and how those who don't "fit" the stereotype can benefit from learning about surgical myths in culture and practice.
