The curator of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices shares his collection of the hilarious, horrifying and preposterous medical devices that have been foisted upon the public in their quest for good health. The assortment of quack devices, that will at once amaze, entertain, and inform you', (Late Night with David Letterman), includes the Prostate Gland Warmer, Phrenology Machine, Nose Straightener, and Wonder Electro Marvel. With period advertisements, promotional literature and gadget instructions, this book offers a wealth of past - and present - medical fraud.'
Acerca del autor: Bob McCoy is the founder and curator of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in St. Anthony Main in Minneapolis. This is the nation's largest public display of "quack" medical devices and was founded in 1987. Mr. McCoy's past occupations include soap salesman, mill steel salesman, and family planning clinic administrator. He is a hobby printer, licensed humanist minister, and a member of the Committee for the Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. It is as a skeptic that McCoy has worked to expose health fraud, and the museum is an entertaining and informative means of doing just that. He has been awarded the Special Citizenship award from the FDA for his work in exposing health fraud. McCoy is married with three grown children and five grandchildren.
