Medicine is not only scientific theories, medical practice, and major discoveries; it is a part of the vast human life that had its own peculiarities, myths, and misconceptions.
This book collects the most bizarre yet real facts about ancient medical knowledge, hypotheses and experiments of past physicians, medicines and procedures that took place in the history of medicine. However, the author did not limit the book to stories from the past and included specific questions that arouse curiosity among modern people, such as why warts appear, whether people go crazy during a full moon, and what percentage of our brain we use.
