Grisly Medicine: The Weird and Wonderful Story - John Farndon - Bog

Medicine has seen some pretty grisly experimental efforts in the past in order to get where we are today. A tale of crushing failures, lucky guesswork and proper scientific study - mixed together with the just plain funny stuff that went on! It's a recipe for an awesome read. Revolting stories and toe-curling treatments are just cool things to know about.
