Reseña del libro "The Importance of Having a Brain Tales from the History of Medicine: Expanded Second Edition (en Inglés)"

The fascinating world of the history of medicineNavigate through the rich and delightful history of one of man's oldest of creeds-the medical profession (not the other, its less illustrious competitor). Told with a perfect blend of historical accuracy, wit, and humor, these assorted stories from the annals of medicine are informative, illuminating, and entertaining. This is a medical history book in small doses.In this book you will discover: -Why do we call smallpox "small"?-Was Julius Caesar called "Caesar" because he was delivered through a c-section?-Who was the British clergyman who measured blood pressure for the first time, and the other whose discovery led to the development of aspirin?-Why did a doctor in the early 20th century exhibit premature babies in circuses, boardwalks, and country fairs in U.S. cities?-What led a 16th century anatomist to discover that men and women have the same number of ribs?-Why did a 19th century Boston surgeon cry out, "Gentlemen, this is no humbug!"?-Why did a German psychiatrist intentionally inject blood from malaria patients into the arms of his psychiatry patients, and what was his reward for this brutal therapy?-What disease killed more people in the 20th century alone than all of battles, armed conflicts, and wars of the 20th century combined?-Why do we call blood banks "banks"?
