The book tells about medicine of the Middle Ages. Medical science will appear before the eyes of readers in a somewhat unusual guise. Those who choose to go straight to certain chapters will, without the slightest delay, find themselves in the center of interesting, significant episodes in the development of medical science. From these episodes, in our opinion, the entire dramatic history of medical healing is woven. The proposed book may be useful for many people: both for those who have devoted their entire previous life to medicine and know almost everything about it, and for those , who tries his best to stay as far away from any doctor's office as possible.
