5.0 out of 5 stars
A worthy successor to Berton Roueche, November 3, 2009
This review is from: The Deadly Dinner Party: and Other Medical Detective Stories (Hardcover)

As a physician and epidemiologist, who was pulled into the field by Berton Roueche’s fantastic Medical Detectives articles, I am glad to say that Dr. Edlow has put together a collection of stories that carry the theme forward to today in a manner that is entertaining, witty, thorough, and educational. A superb book, and I recommend it highly!

Approachable, fascinating, entertaining and educational, October 18, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: The Deadly Dinner Party: and Other Medical Detective Stories (Hardcover)

Dr. Edlow is tenaciously honest and accurate in his communication of medical concepts and the limitations of medical knowledge; and he does so in a language everyone can understand. So approachable are Dr. Edlow’s stories, that they are able to immerse their readers in a world of disease and investigation as if they were directly involved. He accomplishes this feat by wrapping each story in fascinating historical detail and everyday environments and foods many will have experienced. You may never attend a dinner party, pet your cat, admire Queen Elizabeth’s crown jewels, or read Harry Potter in the same way again.

As a physician and a lover of well-written literature, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to the lay person and medical professional alike.
