This book is worth having for the photos--there are many, some of better quality than others, and the photos and the book are large. The history isn't well-written or presented, but not bad.
This is for the Medical History Buff's Coffee Table. It is fun to browse through.

I recently read about a disease and realized that it is quite serious and can damage a person's health for life. Really https://easystd.com/hepatitis-c is one of the worst diseases that can happen to a person. The important thing is that it can be treated in its early stages. I think a lot of people should know more about it.

I picked this up solely because i had driven by the library and stopped there and the book was so heavy I knew I had to choose it in order to take it home in the car.

Heavy book. Heavy content. some of it freaky. But reading the history in pictures is really easy. It was interesting that the ancient medicine began with prehistory cave paintings and Incan artifacts.
