<div><div><b>The good news: you won't stop laughing. The bad news: Every word is true.</b><br><b></b><br>Profiling fifty of the most disgusting, painful, life-threatening and otherwise icky diseases, this remarkable book is the perfect treat for the closet temperature-taker, speed-dialing doctor stalker, or tissue-wielding virus-phobe in all of us. Each disease is fully documented, including a checklist of symptoms, an overview, treatment, prognosis, and—for the rare cases in which the reader is not yet infected—notes on prevention. With fascinating, sickeningly accurate text written by a member of the editorial staff in the Infectious Disease Department of Elsevier, <i>The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have </i>is capable of startling even the most health-confident into fanatical hand washing.<br></div></div>
