The Medical Detectives

You can actually read past 2 pages of this book and not fall asleep! Infact pages together. I say so because it has Public Health (SPM) in it. As any medical student would agree, you cant read SPM textbooks without falling asleep in 10 minutes. The explanations are simple and people with no medical background can also understand. Those with a medical background will enjoy it more, because they can actually diagnose as the writer narrates. There are classical presentations, and the author does a great job in painting the pictures of textbook cases in our minds. It speaks from viewpoints of both the patient and the doctor. Some cases will leave us at utmost disbelief. Though a bit outdated, a must read, especially for medical students!
