'Read this book and you're virtually a qualified doctor! Educational and entertaining - it should be on the national curriculum!'- Harry Hill\n'Hilarious and fascinating! I wish Adam had been my biology teacher' - Konnie Huq\nThe brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay.\nThe olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.\nIt's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.)\nYou'll get answers to questions like: 
Why did patients gargle with wee? 
How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? 
What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)\nIf you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!\nPraise for Kay's Anatomy: 
'An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 
'Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times 
'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 
'Fun and informative' Malorie Blackman

Deftly told and deathly funny,&nbsp;A Particularly Nasty Case is an unputdownable debut novel from Adam Kay, BAFTA-winning author of the international bestseller, This Is Going To Hurt. When a toxic hospital consultant dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does, though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the coroner. So when another senior doctor dies in similar circumstances, he's determined to prove there's more to these deaths than meets the eye. But following recent time off for his mental health, Eitan's colleagues become increasingly skeptical as his chaotic investigation and equally chaotic life spiral simultaneously out of control. Is he making a career-ending mistake, or could there genuinely be a killer stalking the wards?&nbsp;
