Written with the precision of a diagnostician and the narrative flair of a seasoned storyteller, the book chronicles a vivid array of real-life medical mysteries, from the terrifying effects of fatal bat-bites and the dangers of cortisone to the puzzling phenomenon of childhood aspirin poisoning and the science of toxicology. Roueché masterfully illustrates how medicine intersects with everyday life, turning each case into a gripping human drama that is as informative as it is suspenseful. A follow-up to his acclaimed Annals of Medical Detection, this volume confirms Roueché's reputation as one of America's finest medical writers, making complex science utterly accessible to the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956435169499,"sku":"2026100006178-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/db1225a6-2e96-4435-8444-b4d47d221f59.png?v=1783501002","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006178-secondhand-the-incurable-wound","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
