Description

Strange Medicine casts a gimlet eye on the practice of medicine through the ages that highlights the most dubious ideas, bizarre treatmentsand biggest blunders. From bad science and oafish behaviour to stomach-turning procedures that hurt more than helped, Strange Medicine presents strange but true facts and an honour roll of doctors, scientists and dreamers who inadvertently turned the clock of medicine backward.
