Breakthrough! How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World by Jon Queijo is a book I downloaded for free onto my Kindle. I saw a promotion of some sort and this one caught my eye.

Review:
Despite the many years it took me to read it, this is an interesting book. It sat on my Kindle/phone and only got read when I didn't have the forethought to bring my book with me (most recently the physical therapist). There are just times when you do not realize you might need or could even read a book. That is a great time to have a book sitting on your phone. The down side, however, is that it takes forever to read.
I enjoyed learning the history of both the diseases and the cures. This was interesting to me as I have often wondered how this stuff gets resolved. How is it that someone decides to eat moldy bread when sick (that isn't how it happened)? Anyway, this is a great collection of tidbits of information that can be digested a piece at a time.
I especially liked the end which talked about more holistic medicine.
