The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth and Other Curiosities from the History of Medicine by Thomas Morris

3.0

---

This book was very interesting and I was pleasantly surprised. I actually snagged this book off of Indigo's discounted shelf and I didn't think much about it but the title hooked me in. Old medicine is something that is so wild and strange and I think we should all be grateful that we didn't have to experience that. The stories were very interesting however it was frustrating that a lot of them were not solved and just speculated on since the person is already long dead. Sorry that last sentence was definitely confusing. I also want to say that Thomas Morris is super funny and I really enjoyed him being there for the ride. Whether it was providing some context of that period, Morris really added to the book and made it so much better than just a book of old medical stories.
Um in other news, does anyone know if Morris is alphabetically before or after Morrison? Thank you in advance.
