Drama and humanity laced with humour both subtle and lurid Samer Nashef, author of The Naked SurgeonThe Greek physician Hippocrates thought the human body contained blood, phlegm and bile. In the right balance, these fluids produced health; if not, pain.Liam Hughes is very familiar with bodily fluids. He spent nearly five decades on the NHS frontline, ultimately as a senior cardiologist. Extending the Hippocratic list to include sweat, tears, urine, solid waste and spunk (fortitude), he uses this framework to tell his own story of the highs and lows of hospital life. The terminal patient begging for a Brompton cocktail to end his suffering; the loathsome on-call surgeon who impales himself on a shooting-stick; the selfless consultant who rams a police car to save a patients life: all shape Hughes strong sense of what the medical calling should and should not entail.In a lively mixture of the lewd, the gross-out and the deeply humane, he conveys the pain, pleasure and pathos of hospital life. By turns moving, instructive, hilarious and outrageous, Bodily Fluids also expresses its authors anxiety about the state of our health service and offers a bold prescription for the way forward.

"The Sailors Curse How a simple lime defeated the navys greatest killer" tackles the history of scurvy, a disease that killed more sailors than all storms and battles combined. For centuries, the cure for this horrific condition was a mystery, leading to the loss of millions of lives on long voyages. This book tracks the agonizingly slow acceptance of the cure: citrus fruit.Science writer Alan Cross tells the story of James Lind, who conducted the first clinical trial in history on board a ship in 1747. Despite proving that lemons and oranges cured the disease, it took the British Navy another 40 years to implement the findings. The book explores the bureaucratic arrogance and medical dogmas that delayed the solution."The Sailors Curse" is a lesson in how difficult it is to change established beliefs, even when the evidence is undeniable. It explains why British sailors are called "Limeys" and how the conquest of scurvy finally allowed the Royal Navy to dominate the globe.

"The Ice Pick Cure The Nobel Prize surgery that ruined thousands of lives" is a harrowing micro-history of the lobotomy. In the 1940s, this brutal proceduresevering connections in the brains prefrontal cortex with an ice pickwas hailed as a miracle cure for mental illness. Its inventor, Egas Moniz, even won the Nobel Prize.Author Eleanor Vance details the career of Walter Freeman, the showman doctor who performed lobotomies in his "Lobotomobile" van across America. The book focuses on the victims, including Rosemary Kennedy, whose life was destroyed by the surgery at age 23. It explores how desperation and a lack of pharmaceutical alternatives led medicine down a dark path."The Ice Pick Cure" is a cautionary tale about medical hubris. It reminds us that what is considered "cutting-edge science" today can become the barbarism of tomorrow, urging skepticism and ethical vigilance in the face of new "miracle" cures.

"The Hole in the Mind The man who survived a crowbar through the brain" tells the story of Phineas Gage, the most famous patient in the history of neuroscience. In 1848, an accidental explosion drove a tamping iron straight through the railroad foremans skull, destroying his left frontal lobe. Miraculously, he stood up and spoke minutes later. But the man who survived was no longer Phineas Gage.Author Gregory West explores how this gruesome accident provided the first hard evidence that personality is physically located in the brain. Before Gage, the mind was seen as a spiritual entity; after Gage, it became a biological machine. The book tracks his subsequent life as a drifter and a circus attraction, shedding light on the primitive state of 19th-century medicine."The Hole in the Mind" is a biography of an injury. It examines the fragile nature of "self" and how easily our character, morality, and impulse control can be altered by physical damage. It is the story of how a tragic accident birthed modern brain science.

Organon of Medicine distills Hahnemanns homeopathic doctrine into aphorisms that outline a radical therapeutic program: rigorous case-taking, individualization, single remedies in minimum doses, and remedies selected by the law of similars. Combining polemical prefaces with marginalia and observations, the treatise argues for a dynamic vital force and the primacy of provings. Composed against the backdrop of early nineteenth-century heroic medicine, it offers a systematic alternative to bleeding, purging, and polypharmacy. Samuel Hahnemann (17551843), a German physician, chemist, and prolific translator, wrote from disenchantment with prevailing practice. His linguistic and chemical erudition fed a methodological rigor rare among contemporaries; his self-experiment with cinchona bark crystallized the similitude principle. Reworking successive editions, he refined posology and clinical method, guided by a humane imperative to reduce iatrogenic harm and by Enlightenment ideals of observation and reproducibility. This book rewards readers in medical history, therapeutics, and the sociology of knowledge, whether sympathetic or skeptical of homeopathy. Read it to understand a formative, controversial attempt to reconstruct medicine on experiential grounds, and to trace enduring debates about evidence, individuality, and ethics in care. Scholars should consult a critical edition and attend to the revisions culminating in the sixth editions subtle shifts in potency and practice.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.

Mercks 1899 Manual of the Materia Medica is a compact, alphabetized pharmaco-therapeutic compendium that inventories late nineteenth-century drugs, chemicals, and botanicals with their synonyms, preparations, doses, and cautions. Written in a terse, telegraphic style optimized for the pocket and the dispensary bench, it distills contemporary physiological actions, indications, incompatibilities, and antidotes, alongside practical tables and measures. Situated at the cusp of modern pharmacology, after germ theory and the rise of synthetic organics, it registers the transition from eclectic remedies to standardized, assayable agents. Issued by Merck & Co., whose roots in the Darmstadt apothecary tradition evolved into an industrial chemical-pharmaceutical enterprise, the manual reflects the firms laboratory rigor and international cataloging of materia medica. Compiled by company chemists and physicians for practicing clinicians and pharmacists, it responds to the explosive growth of the pharmacopeias and the need for reliable nomenclature, purity standards, and convertible dosage guidance across markets and languages. Readers of medical history, historical pharmacology, and book history will find an authoritative snapshot of practice circa 1899. As a teaching artifact and a working reference, it rewards close study by clinicians, pharmacists, and scholars seeking the sources, standards, and therapeutics that shaped modern drug knowledge.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
