Scurvy: How a Surgeon, a Mariner, and a Gentlemen Solved the Greatest Medical Mystery of the Age of Sail | Stephen R. Bown

Most people probably wouldn‘t squeal in delight while browsing the medical history section of the used bookstore. But this book about scurvy will fit perfectly into what my husband refers to as my #DiseaseOfTheMonthBookClub. 😄

What can I say? I‘m a weirdo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Suet624 That‘s wonderful. I have a friend who is an epidemiologist and she sounds just like you. (edited) 1y

dabbe A wonderful weirdo! 💙🖤🩵 Scurvy was a BIG thing in the book I just finished, THE WAGER. Yikes! 🙀 1y

TEArificbooks My hubby works in medicine, so he loves nonfiction medical books like this one. I recommend

This is officially the BEST acknowledgments section EVER. We should all be grateful after we‘ve come out of something like this that we didn‘t end up with scurvy, too. I should probably thank Sprouts for preventing me from developing scurvy while I was in grad school. 🤣😂🤣

Branwen Omg I feel like I definitely need this book in my life! 🤣😂 6y

GingerAntics @Branwen it‘s a great book and she‘s so conversational in her writing that you feel like you‘re out to tea with her or something. 6y

Ooh, interesting #TriviaThursday! Thanks!
1. Got to be Shakespeare. So quotable when I talk to myself 😉
2. Are we talking their music then? I wouldn‘t want to co-strand Florence + the Machine, but I‘d love to listen to her music.
3. Pineapple juice! NO SCURVY FOR ME THANKS 😳😳😳
