Kay's marvellous medicine

The remarkable and remarkably revolting follow-up to Kay's Anatomy from the UK's funniest science teacher, Adam Kay. Illustrated throughout by comedian Henry Paker. The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one little problem back then ... doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked. It's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. You'll get answers to questions like: Why did patients gargle with wee? How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? What was the great stink? If you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose, pull on your wellies, wash your hands and explore the gross and gruesome history of the human body.
