Kill or Cure by John Farndon

Kill or Cure by John Farndon

Kill or Cure takes a good look at surgeons and healers, covering early surgical practices and operations including a very famous patient Louis X!V and his successful albeit excruciating operation in his bottom region! Through to the start of early anaesthesia.....what a relief that must have been! Grisly History of Medicine is a series that looks at the fascinating and more often than not gruesome stories of illness and their treatments throughout history. Here are some revolting stories about some toe curling treatments, some of which are still used today. There is a fantastic mix of some very successful treatments and some of the experimental failures. It all makes for a great scientific read.
