Medical knowledge of the graft operation was accompanied by a spurious story that the nose would be constructed from flesh purchased from a social inferior, and would drop off when that person died. The volume therefore explores this narrative in detail for its role in the procedure\u0026amp;#x27;s stigmatisation, its engagement with the doctrine of medical sympathy, and its unique attempt to commoditise living human flesh. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920521674910,"sku":"ING-9781526160744","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526160744.jpg?v=1782823066","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526160744","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
