Publisher's Synopsis

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.
