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!
