Summary

Majno pieces together the difficulties people faced in the effort to survive injury, as well as the odd, chilling, or inspiring ways in which they rose to the challenge. In asking whether early healers benefited their patients or only hastened their demise, Majno uncovered surprising answers by testing ancient prescriptions in a modern lab.
