Download PRETITLE A Brief History of Bad Medicine POSTTITLE from 4shared, mediafire, hotfile, and mirror linkA doctor removes the normal, healthy side of a patient's brain instead of the malignant tumor. A man whose leg is scheduled for amputation wakes up to find his healthy leg removed. These recent examples are part of a history of medical disasters and embarrassments as old as the profession itself.

In Brief History of Bad Medicine, Robert M. Youngson and Ian Schott have written the definitive account of medical mishap in modern and not-so- modern times. From famous quacks to curious forms of sexual healing, from blunders with the brain to drugs worse than the diseases they are intended to treat, the book reveals shamefully dangerous doctors, human guinea pigs, and the legendary surgeon who was himself a craven morphine addict.

Exploring the line between the comical and the tragic, the honest mistake and the intentional crime, Brief History of Bad Medicine illustrates once and for all that you can't always trust the people in white coats.Direct download links available for PRETITLE A Brief History of Bad Medicine (Brief Histories) [Kindle Edition] POSTTITLE

A Brief History of Bad Medicine PDF

The whole story told in a readable manner, of the big events in medical history; AIDS, thalidomide, polio, smallpox, names we remember but have forgotten the details. This is not about drugs or treatmkents, but just a history of what actually happened.
