Now published in five languages, 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 behavior 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. * Renaissance physicians timed surgical procedures according to the position of the stars, and 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 woods. Strange Medicine is an illuminating panorama of medical history as you've never seen it before.

This book is interesting if you want to know some fun trivia, or to be profoundly grateful not to have been born in medieval times. My issue with it was that it seemed so repetitive from about the middle of the book to the end. I think if it was organized differently--by procedure, perhaps, instead of eras of medicine--it would have been better. It felt like the author was including the interesting bits of information he found as he found it instead of working to organize it in a readable way. I wish he'd instead gathered all of the information about a topic, such as bloodletting, and discussed it in detail instead of writing about it over and over again throughout the book with nothing new to add.It's strange, because the book feels both too long and too short. It's so repetitive on some information, but also doesn't go deep enough into any of the topics. I wanted to learn more, and instead it's kind of a pithy overview on interesting things. Overall, an okay read.
