9781849532501: How to Remove a Brain: And Other Bizarre Medical Practices

Synopsis

Have you ever wondered how long it takes to digest chewing gum?

What hiccups are for?

Whether it's safe to fly with breast implants?

Taking in everything from the outrageous (yes, Hitler was addicted to crystal meth) to the eye-watering (such as the renowned surgeon who accidentally cut off his patient's left testicle) to the downright disgusting (like the cure for toothache used by the Egyptians involving dead mouse paste), this book proves that medical science is not for the faint-hearted, lily-livered or weak-stomached!
