As an occupant, I enjoyed this guide to the body. I especially liked the less useful information and the gossip. It's amazing how often reknowned medical scientists were, outside of the discoveries that made them famous (if they weren't actualy the discoveries of others who never got credit) were involved in unsavory, illegal, or otherwise crazy schemes of which most of us are unaware. It's relatively recent that doctors are actually able to help their patients. George Washington died because of how his doctors chose to treat a minor sore throat.

A few random facts I recall: The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. Hair and nails do not continue to grow after death. Near death paliative care cancer patients live longer than those who continue to get chemotherapy. Despite superior American health care, natives of Costa Rica live longer because of their healthier life styles. Most grave sites are no longer visited fifteen years after death. Vitamins were originally called "Vitamines"--short for vital amines. Blood type O was really blood type zero. People at first thought that radiation was good for you. Ones DNA unwound would extend from here past the (non) planet Pluto. All the penicillin we have today is descended from the mold on a single canteloupe. If cancer were cured today, our average lifespan would increase by less than three years. When Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood, it was years before it was accepted as fact, in part because no one knew what blood was for. Chemotherapy was discovered because of the effects of chemical weapon mustard gas.
