Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary "Boneheads & brainiacs profiles the winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine from 1901 to 1950--a surprisingly diverse group of racists, cranks, and opportunists, as well as heroes, geniuses, and selfless benefactors of humanity. Forget all the ivory tower stereotypes of white-coated doctors finding miracle cures. Boneheads & brainiacs reveals the messy human reality behind medical progress, in a highly entertaining book written for the ordinary reader"--Page [4] of cover.
