Suzie Edge
Suzie Edge is fascinated by the history of the human body and medicine. She trained as a biologist before becoming a medical doctor to spend more time talking to people, rather than just bugs in test tubes. She’s worked as a doctor in infectious diseases, haematology, and orthopaedic surgery. She has also completed a MLitt in Modern History to feed her fascination for the history of the human body and medicine. She loves discovering the real historical stories of how we have treated our human bodies in life and in death. Suzie brings history to life on her TikTok which has over 10.3 million likes and 599K followers, who love tuning into her stories of gruesome and fascinating medical history. She is also the author of two titles for adults – Mortal Monarchs and Vital Organs – and has two pong-filled books for kids in the History Stinks series – Poo Through the Ages and the newly released Wee, Snot and Slime Through Time. She has been nominated for BookTok Author of the Year 2023.
