Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

"Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine" by George M. (George Milbrey) Gould is a journey into the strange and unusual world of medical anomalies from the late 1800s. It explores rare medical cases, uncovering incredible oddities in the human body and the amazing ways they have fascinated people. This collection starts by looking at how people have always been curious about strange things happening in the body, shifting over time, from tales and old wives' style myths, to actual science.. The start of the book lays a path for the rest, grouping different types of bizarre medical instances—including genetic errors and changes in normal functioning—proving their medical importance and how tales, study, and understanding worked together through time.
