Tara R. (portabellopig) reviewed The Medicine Cabinet of Curiosities: An Unconventional Compendium of Health Facts and Oddities, from Asthmatic Mice to Plants that Can Kill on + 40 more book reviews
It's an interesting read for anyone with little knowledge of human diseases, but those with a basic understanding / education will find themselves skimming it. The author touches on a broad spectrum of topics, but never goes in depth into any one of them.
