Gabriel Weston: An Alternative Anatomy
Fri 22 Aug 11:45 - 12:45
Live streaming from Edinburgh International Book Festival
Aged 20, surgeon Gabriel Weston enrolled in a pioneering degree programme encouraging arts students to become doctors. She quickly realised that by presenting organs in isolation, separate from the bodies they exist in, anatomical textbooks were missing a holistic view of illness. In her insightful new book, Alive, Weston delves into the role our organs play on our emotions, highlighting the importance of treating the whole patient. She joins us to discuss our fragile, frightening, miraculous bodies. Chaired by Kirsty Lang.
