Known for his series of Doctor books, Gordon has put together fifty of the most bizarre medical incidents, mistakes, blunders and litigations in history. Man’s activities have been tainted by disaster ever since the serpent first approached Eve in the garden - and the world of medicine is no exception. In this outrageous yet informative book, Richard Gordon explores some of history’s more bizarre medical disasters. He creates a catalogue of mishaps including anthrax bombs on Gruinard Island, destroying mosquitoes in Panama, and Mary the cook who, in 1904, inadvertently spread Typhoid across New York State.
