Description

The world is filled with bizarre and fascinating ways to fall ill. A notorious stomach bug turns a suburban dinner party into a disaster that almost claims its host; a diminutive woman routinely eats more than her football-playing boyfriend but continually loses weight; a young executive is diagnosed with lung cancer, yet the tumours seem to wax and wane inexplicably. In these 15 edge-of-the-seat real-life medical detective stories, practising physician and award-winning author Jonathan Edlow shows the doctor as detective and the epidemiologist as elite sleuth in stories that are as gripping as the best thrillers.
