From the 1950s to 1980s, Ohio obstetrician gynecologist James Burt performed a bizarre procedure that he termed “love surgery” on hundreds of new mothers, not bothering to get their informed consent. The Love Surgeon asks tough questions about Burt’s heinous acts and what they reveal about the failures of the medical establishment.
