A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities
Jan Bondeson
Before museums there were cabinets of medical curiosities: a dried mermaid might sit next to a giant's shinbone; the skeletons of conjoined twins beside an Egyptian mummy. The author uses his medical expertise to explore some of these medical freaks, outright frauds and popular myths.
