A Sick History of Medicine: A Warts-And-All Book Full of Fun Facts and Disgusting Discoveries features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!
WARNING: NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. This revolting history of medicine through the ages by Jelena Poleksic is full of blood, guts, and gore!
If you don't like going to the doctor, spare a thought for your ancestors. Got a headache? We can drill into your skull! Need to buy medicine? Can we recommend a dose of ground-up Egyptian mummy? Want to fight off diseases? Try smelling a stinky cesspit.
It's well-known that to make advances in science you have to make a few mistakes along the way. In this hilarious history book kids will be whisked around the world—from ancient Rome to imperial China—to meet the medical innovators who pushed the boundaries of what was possible, with sometimes disastrous effects. They'll learn about the use of leeches, maggot-therapy (as gross as it sounds), dancing plagues, public dissections, grave robbers, electric eel treatments, exploding teeth, and much more!
Written by a doctor, everything in this audiobook has been scrupulously researched and listeners will learn about the development of some of our greatest inventions, from vaccines to X-rays. Kids will want to return to this audiobook again and again.
The vile sequel to the equally revolting A Stinky History of Toilets!
A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.
