Right from his earliest days to the end of his life, Dahl was intrigued by what doctors do, and why they do it. During his lifetime, he and his family suffered some terrible medical tragedies: Dahl nearly died when his fighter plane went down in World War II; his son had severe brain injury in an accident; and his daughter died of measles infection of the brain. But he also had some medical triumphs: he dragged himself back to health after the plane crash, despite a skull fracture, back injuries, and blindness; he was responsible for inventing a medical device (the Wade-Dahl-Till valve) to treat his son's hydrocephalus (water on the brain), and he taught his first wife Patricia to talk again after a devastating stroke. His medical interactions clearly influenced some of his writing ? for example the explosive potions in George?s Marvellous Medicine. And sometimes his writing impacted on events in his life ? for example the research on neuroanatomy he did for his short story William and Mary later helped him design the valve for treating hydrocephalus.In this unique book, Professor Tom Solomon, who looked after Dahl towards the end of his life, examines Dahl?s fascination with medicine. Taking examples from Dahl?s life, and illustrated with excerpts from his writing, the book uses Dahl?s medical interactions as a starting point to explore some extraordinary areas of medical science. Solomon is an award-winning science communicator, and he effortlessly explains the medical concepts underpinning the stories, in language that everyone can understand. The book is also peppered with anecdotes from Dahl?s late night hospital discussions with Solomon, which give new insights into this remarkable man?s thinking as his life came to an end. 606 $aArt$xStudy and teaching$xActivity programs 606 $aSchool field trips$zGreat Britain 606 $aSchool field trips 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt$xStudy and teaching$xActivity programs. 615 0$aSchool field trips 615 0$aSchool field trips. 676 $a372.5044 700 $aSolomon$b Tom$0923592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466111403321 996 $aRoald Dahl's marvellous medicine$92072500 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02239nam 2200337 n 450 001 996392325203316 005 20221108100810.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000108392 035 $a(EEBO)2240942667 035 $a(UnM)99863332 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000108392 100 $a19930415d1648 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aMr. Prinns charge against the King$b[electronic resource] $eShewing that the Kings design, purpose, and resolution, his endeavours, practice, and conversation, have alwayes been engaged, byassed, and tended to settle, establish, confirm, popery, tyranny, and slavery, in, among, over his dominions, subjects, people, and in order to that design, end, and purpose, he writ to the Pope of Rome ... engaging himself to the said Pope, to endeavour to settle the popish religion only in his dominions; and since his coming to the crown, hath extented extraordinary favonrs [sic] upon, and protecti- on [sic] of notorious papists, priests & Jesuits, against all prosecution of lawes enacted against them; notwith- standing all his protestations to the contrary, hath raised up a most horrid, unnatural, and bloudy warre, arming his Roman Catholique subjects to massacre, plunder, torture, imprison, ruine, his loyall, faithfull pious Protestant subjects to burn, sack, and spoile their cities, towns and villages, collected from the bookes written. /$fBy William Prinne of Lincolns Inne, Esquire.
