The Mystery of the Exploding Teeth and Other Curiosities from the History of Medicine by Thomas Morris
4.0
Overall, this book was entertaining, gruesome and mysterious.
I find myself now bringing up the cases stated in this book to friends and family to watch their expression contort into disgust; which I find highly amusing!
Unfortunately the last chapter felt like it was missing something and the book seemingly closed on one of the least interesting parts with no seeming conclusion or 'outro'.
It feels like it just needed acknowledgement of the advances of modern medicine but there are still individuals who experience bizarre medical anomalies that even 21st century medicine can't explain.
