Publishers Description: Great Medical Mysteries is a hilarious catalog of medical mysteries and trivia—medical mysteries of history, mysterious addictions, and everyday medical mysteries are all posed and pondered with Richard Gordon’s famed wit. The result is a deeply humorous, often bawdy, novel that explores the fancies and bodily functions of human beings through the ages. It moves ingeniously from the woman who gave birth to rabbits, to George Washington’s teeth and Hitler’s eyesight via cannibalism, and arrives at more contemporary enigmas, such as why do so many doctors write books?
