Considered by many as one of the greatest surgeons produced in the British Isles, Joseph Lister’s development of antiseptic surgery in the 1860’s - while still a young professor of Surgery in Glasgow - was based on careful experimental studies. He revolutionised surgical practice, heralding the dawn of modern surgery. Professor Harold Ellis examines the early influences on the man that created the surgeon.
