by Glenn A. Langer
Category: Health & Fitness

"Dr. Glenn Langer introduces ten more patients, whose case histories, physical findings and laboratory test results you'll explore with him. In clear, everyday language, he explains the physical process at the core of each illness, starting at the level of the vital organs, then focusing in on the individual cells and the very molecules at work in their depths. Describing the how and why of treatment, Dr. Langer then reassembles the pieces, reforming the full picture of the disease as it appears in the whole patient."--BOOK JACKET.
