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

funny informative medium-paced

3.0

 This was a solid read. Not the best collection of miscellaney/curiosities that I've ever read but not the worst. Way too many detailed stories about people shoving various things into their bodies' orifices...

Anyway, points to Morris for finding lots of interesting stories I'd never heard before. Lots of weird stories, interesting stories and disgusting stories. Definitely a fun read if you're into the history of medicine, or honestly just weird medical tales.
