Book DescriptionThis hugely enjoyable jaunt through medical history unearths some odd characters, including: The Essex man who kept getting pregnant; The physician who gave syphilis its name by writing a poem about it; The future Lady Hamilton training to be a courtesan by giving lectures on healthy living; We also meet nineteenth and twentieth century moralising doctors whose instinctive response to people having fun was to look for the dangers - they condemned bicycling because it could stimulate the 'sexual system' of 'women of a certain temperament'; they protected young men from the dread disease of masturbation by blistering their penises with iodine. With this collection of true tales, some sad, some anger-provoking, some hilarious, Michael O'Donnell offers an inside view of the bizarre yet often endearing world in which doctors and their patients try their best to survive.
About the AuthorMichael O'Donnell practised medicine for twelve years before becoming a writer. He was editor ofWorld Medicine, has published two novels, and written and presented over one hundred TV documentaries in Europe and the US. At Radio Four he was chairman of My Word, presenter of the award-winning series Relative Vaues and a regular contributor to the programme Stop The Week.
