About this product
Product Information
Strange Medicine is an illuminating panorama of medical history as you've never seen it before. Strange Medicine casts a gimlet eye on the practice of medicine through the ages that highlights the most dubious ideas, bizarre treatments, and 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 honor roll of doctors, scientists, and dreamers who inadvertently turned the clock of medicine backward- The ancient Egyptians applied electric eels to cure gout. Medieval dentists burned candles in patients' mouths to kill invisible worms gnawing at their teeth. Eighteenth-century physicians instructed epileptics to collect fresh blood from the newly beheaded. Dr. Walter Freeman, the world's foremost practitioner of lobotomies, practiced his craft while traveling on family camping trips, cramming the back of the station wagon with kids?and surgical tools?then hammering ice picks into the eye sockets of his patients in between hikes in the wood. Strange Medicine is an illuminating panorama of medical history as you've never seen it before.

- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseAnother great merchant on eBay that I trust and have purchased from previous. Thank you Book Hub for always giving me a positive shopping experience. Delivery of service excellent. Product was as depicted. Book arrived safely and was well packaged. Pricing competitive. Postage not excessive and item was expedited promptly. Communication great. Highly recommend this merchant.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseReceived the book in good condition. However it was sent in a freezer bag and a paper envelope. The envelope and bag were both torn and somehow the book was not damaged. Contacted the seller about the packaging and suggested maybe a padded envelope or a couple of pieces of stiff cardboard may offer better protection. Seller said they would pass information on to relevant staff. I doubt I will purchase from this seller again.
- *****- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis book arrived as described on time with good communication regarding the shipping. The hardcover edition was hard to fine but Book Hun Australia were able to provide this great book at a reasonable price in good time. Highly recommend this seller if you’re looking for something that’s hard to find.
