General Notes | Dr Michael Hefferon's second foray into the world of medical myths is simply a delight to read, whether one is in some way connected with the world of medicine ,or not. It is filled with an eclectic mix of medical anecdotes that not only entertain, but truly inform the reader.He has woven a lifetime of medical encounters to illustrate the origins of these myths. Topics include JFK's Addisons Disease, and Freud's cocaine habit. He also explores the world of medical outpatients(Psychiatric) on the night of a full moon.Chapters about the dwindling numbers of crib deaths, and the exposing of Munchausen's Syndrome will open a fascinating window into medical mysteries. |
