What is a good reference for the history of medicine?
I am researching the history of human civilization starting in the paleolithic period onward. I am looking for a reference on the history of medicine-- hopefully starting with our first attempts at medicine and continuing on to the modern age. I would like a timeline of problems and solutions and how they evolved to where we are now.
Searching Amazon doesn't provide a lot of good books like I was hoping it would. Given the size of this field, I figured there would be an overwhelming number of books.
Thank you.

There are not too many books, it's kind of a censored topic.
The best work might be the Cambridge History of Medicine:
