Strange Medicine casts a gimlet eye on the practice of medicine through the ages that highlights the most dubious ideas, bizarre treatments, and biggest blunders. From bad science and oafish behavior to stomach-turning procedures that hurt more than helped, Strange Medicine presents strange but true facts and an honor roll of doctors, scientists, and dreamers who inadvertently turned the clock of medicine backward: - The ancient Egyptians applied electric eels to cure gout.- Medieval dentists burned candles in patients' mouths to kill invisible worms gnawing at their teeth.
- Renaissance physicians timed surgical procedures according to the position of the stars, and instructed epileptics to collect fresh blood from the newly beheaded.
- Dr. Walter Freeman, the world's foremost practitioner of lobotomies, practiced his craft while traveling on family camping trips, cramming the back of the station wagon with kids--and surgical tools--then hammering ice picks into the eye sockets of his patients in between hikes in the woods. Strange Medicine is an illuminating panorama of medical history as you've never seen it before.

FUN TOY!
Got this a couple days ago and so far very pleased. Would give it 5 stars, but only had it a couple days - we will see how it holds up o er time. All 4 of my dogs love it, so much so that I ordered more today. It's got an awesome squeaker, and is flexible without being flimsy. My guys haven't destroyed it yet, and that's always a good sign.

Good quality, great for the beach
This is great for ocean and beach fetch! The spikes keep the sand and saltwater from getting in my pups mouth and upsetting her stomach. It also floats well and doesnt fill with water. I have had this for about a month now and in surprisingly good shape considering how obsessed with it my dog is. Not gonna lie, I avoid squeakers since my dog is an absolute menace with them but i assumed the squeaker would break almost immediately, however it is still going strong much to my annoyance🤣

Great Product!
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
My dog is a chewer! She can chew through most chew toys in a day. This has been a lifesaver! She chews on it but has not been able to get any pieces off of it. It is Durable and she loves it! This is a great item. I intend to buy more like this. It is a great product!
