Science doesn&rsquo;t always get it right the first time (or the second, or the third, or even the ninety-ninth!). And while we may chuckle at the outlandish things people believed or the goofy experiments they tried, we forget two things: 1) those failures helped us get where we are today and 2) a hundred years from now, people will probably be laughing at the &ldquo;cutting edge&rdquo; medical knowledge of today!

This hilarious and insightful book, geared towards middle-school readers (but enjoyable for all ages!), frolicks through some of the strangest stories in the history of medicine, accompanied by delightfully grotesque illustrations. There&rsquo;s learning, there&rsquo;s laughter, but most importantly, there&rsquo;s a lesson: failure is okay. Not just okay but a necessary part of science. Tune in for all this and more!
