If there is just one medieval piece a Urologist should know, it's the 13th century Cantiga de Santa Maria #173. A man suffered from kidney stones and doctors couldn't help. He prayed to the virgin Mary, went to sleep, and awoke with the chestnut sized stone in his hand. youtu.be/ZTP8GsGTbHI

Other favorite line in the book: "there are many proteins in the urine and we don't know their function, but my friend Bence-Jones in London is working on this problem"
