The extraordinary side of human health from bacon therapy and death via astrology to nutmeg psychosis, medicinal toads and miracles at Lourdes.
By Robert M. Youngson
Medical stories from the horrifying to the hilarious illuminated by a lifetime of experience in clinical medicine and surgery.
Laced with a delicate (and occasionally indelicate) humour, this book is for anyone with a taste for the bizarre, the exotic and the preposterous. It is also a rich source of fascinating scientific lore and medical information.
