A quick little book that’s just what the title says, albeit not a very detailed one. My nursey-self wanted more details, and the book was short on those—mostly a collection of blurbs and mini-stories about a whole host of bizarre medical treatments—from trepanation (making holes in your skull) to various things you can do with urine. Interesting, but just didn’t go far enough for me to feel it a really worthwhile read…it served its’ purpose as the bathroom book of the week, though. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Weird Cures is a catalog of very strange, sometimes hilarious, often horrifying cures that were actually used by physicians, and then discredited. Some of these so-called cures are beyond belief! For instance: Mercury, now known to be highly toxic, was once thought to draw poison from the body. It was even administered for routine ills like constipation and toothaches! Strappado, a technique in which patients are strapped to ladders and dropped from significant heights, was used to correct spinal misalignments. It is now considered torture. Weird Cures is a compendium of these bizarre and sometimes fatal treatments. This fun look at medical history will fascinate and astonish, and make you laugh and gasp at the same time.
