Amazing Medical Stories

Amazing Medical Stories with one from the Titanic! So it's highly recommended. You can check your local library for this but its doubtful they have it.

This book is both informative and highly entertaining. Burden and Grant have distilled truly amazing stories of a medical ilk which pertain to and are of interest to both American and Canadian readers. I was fascinated by the pioneering medical research done by Alexander Graham Bell, especially his efforts to identify the location of the assassin's bullet in President Garfield, and Bell's breakthroughs in cancer and x-ray therapy. The new information on the Titanic and the weird coincidences which tie in the dead of the Titanic and the presence of her identical sister ship the Olympic with the Halifax explosion were downright spooky. The account of Dr. Brinkley's early "Viagra", the implantation of goats testicles in willing patients, really astounded me as to the extent people will go to rejuvenate sexual vitality.
