The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth and Other Curiosities from the History of Medicine
by Thomas Morris
Award-winning medical historian Thoams Morris delivers one of the most remarkable, cringe-inducing collections of stories ever assembled. These unforgettable stories reveal a great deal about the evolution of modern medicine. Some show the medical profession hopeless in the face of ailments that today’s modern drugs would banish quickly; but others are heartening tales of recovery against the odds—patients saved from death by the devotion or ingenuity of a conscientious doctor.
