If you don't like going to the doctor, spare a thought for your ancestors. Got a headache? We can drill into your skull! Need to buy medicine? Can we recommend a dose of ground-up Egyptian mummy?In this hilarious history book kids will be whisked around the world - from ancient Rome to imperial China - to meet the medical innovators who pushed the boundaries of what was possible, with sometimes disastrous effects. Kids will learn about the use of leeches, maggot-therapy (as gross as it sounds), dancing plagues, grave robbers, exploding teeth, as well as the development of some of our greatest inventions, from vaccines to X-rays.
