By Rob MyersThe Woman Who Swallowed a Toothbrush and Other Bizarre Medical Cases

This collection of stories reveals some of the oddest and most memorable case histories, from the woman who claims she was brushing her teeth when she swallowed her toothbrush—but in fact was a bulimic using it to induce vomiting—to the man whose routine elective back surgery revealed he’d been carrying a bullet around in his body for years.
From the funny to the frightening, these documented memorable medical mysteries make for fascinating reading.
