The marvel of medicine spans the tribal shamanism of prehistory to simple herbalism to today's technological feats. To study its history is to encounter case after case of the wonderful accident of it, wherein some combination of genius, observation, perseverance, coincidence, and just plain luck came together to move medical science forward. DOCTORS KILLED GEORGE WASHINGTON is a collection of approximately 500 fascinating facts about doctors.
