—— ROSHI BERNIE GLASSMAN, author of Intructions to the Cook

A wonderfully gruesome tour of inexplicable illnesses, questionable remedies, jaw-dropping operations and recoveries that defy logic... a fascinating window into the world of medical oddities... This tour of strange and unbelievable medical cases from history is funny and terrifying in equal measure.

—— Shelf Awareness

A particularly fascinating reminder of medical advancement… Morris has combed through old medical journals and compiled a trove of the most bizarre, disgusting — and compelling — cases from the early 17th to the turn of the 20th century. It’s like medical rubbernecking.

—— New York Post

The clinical cases Morris has collected, creating what amounts to a medical version of Ripley's Believe It or Not!, are often intriguing, occasionally disgusting, sometimes tragic, but always weird… Morris offers a most peculiar jaunt through medical history.

—— Booklist

A gruesome but weirdly compelling trip through several centuries of quack cures, horrific operations, and bizarre accidents.

—— New York Daily News

[A] series of case studies from our research past that will remind you that we are never as smart as we think. Morris uses images of old documents, and citations from physicians of the past, in way that makes the book both real, grounded—and a lot of fun.

—— Science Friday, Best Science Books of 2018

Morris repeatedly encountered the intriguing and the bizarre. The human aspects of the cases Morris describes are as important as the strictly medical. As well as many self-inflicted tribulations there are a number of hair-raising emergencies.

Brilliant, hypnotic, compelling. A great book.
