pickVery cool book about the history of medicine. Instead of just listing major discoveries that contributed to medicine as we know it today, Wootton focuses on the long gaps between between scientific discoveries and their eventual implementation in medicine. It's a cultural and institutional account of why it took so long for medicine to do more good than harm. Easy to read and entertaining.
