Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Victor Horsley (1857–1916) was a brilliant and pioneering neurosurgeon who also shaped the direction of clinical medicine through his work with the British Medical Association, Medical Defence Union, and General Medical Council. Before the nervous system could be imaged, Horsley operated successfully on the brain and spinal cord, and performed palliative procedures on patients dying from brain tumours. Nevertheless, he became a social pariah due to his support for nationalised health insurance, child welfare and women's rights, amongst other causes. In this fascinating biography, leading neurologist Dr Michael J. Aminoff places Horsley's life and work in the context of the society in which he lived and explores his influence on the development of neurosurgery and social policies still in effect. The many underlying themes to the book include the interplay of science and politics, and the responsibility of physicians to themselves and for the welfare of society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Victor Horsley: A Study of His Life and Work He belonged to a long-lived family. He was himself strong and vigorous. He would under normal circumstances probably have lived to old age, and so long as strength of mind and body remained to him it would have been used in attempting to further the interests of the people. And he would have furthered them. He possessed in a high degree the power of influencing other men, and not only those of his own age but also the young, a much rarer gift. They felt that he was not of the past or even of the present but of the future, and that his leading was always onwards and upwards. When he joined a cause, his name at once added strength to it. It could not be merely sentimental, or wanting in justification, if it had attracted to it so manly a man and so keen an intellect. Thus he would have been a teaching and inspiring force in the country, and he has left a void which so far no one has come forward to fill.
