ReviewPublishers Weekly-Belofsky (The Book of Strange and Curious Legal Oddities) conjures horror and hilarity--sometimes at the same time-in this cheeky history of 2,400 years of doctors doing “more harm than good” and occasionally fumbling their way toward “Eureka!”…medicine sunk to its lowest point during its “Heroic Era.”…Benjamin Rush, the father of American psychiatry, would strap patients to chairs, hang them from the ceiling, and spin them “like tops for hours on end.”…Makes a shot in the rear seem like a walk in the park.
