Product Details
Not your regular doctor, Reisman is like Bear Grylls meets Atul Gawande. His wild adventures are always married to greater themes of mortality and the human body.
Each of the fifteen chapters in this book focuses on a different part of human anatomy. The obvious body parts like the heart, lungs and brain are discussed. But there are also chapters on the pineal gland, feces, urine and mucus. The book draws on the author's experiences as a medical student, resident and hospitalist as well as his medical volunteerism in India, Russia and Alaska. He is a dual specialist - internal medicine/pediatrics. He is also a world traveler and naturalist. All of the chapters are fascinating.
