Young readers will absolutely LOVE this fantastically grisly, yet fascinating history of medicine throughout the ages.
From the ridiculous to the ghastly, there’s a litany of ‘cures’, from staring at toads to cure bubonic plague, to drilling holes to prevent headaches – right up children’s street!
But this isn’t just a romp through medical mishaps, there’s a plethora of information explaining how proper medicine has developed, from the accidental discovery of penicillin to the marvels of modern MRI and CT scanning.
Highly recommended for kids - and indeed grown-ups!
