In Nine Pints, Rose George takes us from ancient practices of bloodletting to a cutting-edge trauma ward.

Such things might get some results, but they are not enough to sustain a healthy ministry - or a healthy life.

Blood carries life, yet the sight of it makes people faint. It is a waste product and a commodity pricier than oil. It can save lives and transmit deadly infections. Each one of us has roughly nine pints of it, yet many don’t even know their own blood type.

In 1935, nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, heir to one of the wealthiest families in America, is snatched off the streets two blocks from his home.
