Dr Cooper enjoys traveling and on a trip to Central Europe, she was privileged to be invited into a private library at a monastery in Prague. This ancient library holds thousands of books on medicine, law and religion from the 14th and 15th centuries. What was written about foot care 600 hundred years ago?
