Mould's Medical Anecdotes: Omnibus Edition is a fabulous collection of anecdotes on the humorous, intriguing, unusual, mysterious, and historical aspects of medicine. It combines the hugely successful Mould's Medical Anecdotes and More Mould's Medical Anecdotes and includes a selection of more recently collected material. Dr. Mould searched newspapers, advertisements, case histories, monologues, and medical journals on both sides of the Atlantic for this treasure trove.

"? You do not need to have this edition on your office desk but inside the drawer, within easy reach. It will be of great value and you will love it! ? you may sit in your armchair for hours, smiling, laughing, and learning unusual things with astonishment. ? You should buy the book, order another one as a gift for your friend(s) ? you will get a lot of information, entertainment, and pleasure."
-O. Pohlenz, European Radiology, Vol. 7, Issue 7, 1997
