Hmm... Rather strange...

Well, Mr. Youngston obviously spent a lengthy amount of time researching this book. It's evident from page one, when he sheds light on a little known and often misunderstood topic; that being the medical history. In this book he clearly shows that much of what we think in terms of medical advancement is lacking.From the onset, and all the way through, this is an exercise in material that will make your jaw drop in surprise. The strange things the human race has done in the name of science is quite astounding in this context- or in any context for that matter. If you thought modern doctors were full of it, just wait until you see this! I'm actually considering calling my doctor and thanking him for not being like this- though I suppose that statement is overdoing it a bit, but I remind you- it's just a LITTLE bit.Entertaining, sometimes shocking, occasionally funny- this is quite a book!
