Synopsis
A collection of bizarre medical stories ranging from the horrifying to the hilarious, taken from both the author's profession and from medical literature. Stories include therapies involving bacon rashers, toads and other strange items, the often extreme limitations of medical science, bizarre ailments such as Fishy Odour Syndrome, quack cures for rabies, and the weird and sometimes wildly misdiagnosed symptoms produced by illnesses both physical and psychological.
