Ocena: 5 w koronie!
Wrażenia: Najbardziej spodobała mi się opowieść o entuzjaście masturbacji, który rozciął sobie penis na dwie części <3 I widelec w tyłku. Minęło ponad 200 lat, a ludzie niczego się nie nauczyli i nadal zgłaszają się do lekarzy z dziwnymi ciałami obcymi w odbytach. Bawiłam się podczas lektury świetnie, a znajomi lekarze również docenili niektóre fragmenty, które im pokazałam.
Dla kogo: Dla medyków - fajne starusieńkie case studies. I dla niemedyków, którzy lubią obrzydliwe ciekawostki.

An interesting book about medical oddities from history. Some did make me cringe but they were all interesting!

It's always fascinating to learn about medicinal practice from the past and this was no different. The information was provided in bite size bits, getting straight to the point of the matter. The audiobook was well done and the use of two narrators - one being the author with his input and the other with the historical recounting - lifted the book up and stopped it from becoming monotonous to listen to.

Audible complaint only - I really wish the chapters were labeled by more than just 'Chapter 1' - it makes it so difficult to go back and listen to a particularly interesting section.

This book was somehow repetitive and all over the place. It marketed itself as a book of 'silly' medical anecdotes, but it wasn't funny so much as slightly annoying.
