"An ideal choice for your next doctor's appointment, this book will provide entertainment, useful health information and some reassurance while you wait to be called. You'll learn you do not have Ebola haemorrhagic fever, for example, by checking the list of dire symptoms. Bakalar provides many such lists and interesting snippets." --New Scientist "Quirky... eminently entertaining.... A crisp, witty reference guide for the common person whose TV remote pauses--but doesn't linger--on any channel broadcasting documentary coverage of medical procedures.... Bakalar's collection provides many moments of erudite amusement." --Booklist
