    Dr David does an introduction to ligaments. Did you know we had 900 of them !

    We dig deep into anatomical history, specifically Herophilus (335–280 BC) who put into place the building blocks of what became modern day medicine.

    The two Scots brothers John (1728–1793) and William Hunter (1718–1783)Scottish brothers who revolutionized 18th-century medicine, anatomy, and obstetrics in London.

    Dr David has the facts and figures in his head as he talks through his subject. Anatomy. Fascinating, compelling and true.
