Good for my pre-med son

This book was so interesting and had many laugh out loud situations. I bought it for my son who is going to med-school thought he would get a kick out of things he may see. He loved the book and has past it around to friends. Worth the read for you or a gift.
a fun read

Aside from the Guiness Book of World records, I found this to be one of the best books for insomnia. The stories, though at times comically badly written as prose, do tend to have their charm. It's almost an affirmation of "if it can happen under the sun it will", but regarding the human body. Not for the light of stomach, not written forensically but in common English, it's an entertaining read.
Odd and scary things.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
"Toothbrush" manages to be interesting, funny and scary at the same time. These stories of swallowed items and odd accidents keep physicians wondering about their patients and patients wondering about the medical profession. Who would think that mineral oil or orange juice could be bad for you? One warning - if you have a weak stomach, you shouldn't read this near meal time. A number of the stories talk about the medical professionals getting sick and if they did, you might.
