This history of medicine looks at the entertaining aspects of medical development, for example the stethoscope was invented when a Paris physician rolled up a sheet of paper, decorously to hear into a girl's bosom. The book also explains that Victorian doctors were great at identifying diseases that they had no idea how to cure and that Chancellor Bismark was the true originator of the NHS.
