Non-fiction, medical, science 251 pages
Book Count: 72
This book is written by a technical advisor for the show House, M.D. As such many of the stories she tells about the way that doctors find out about what is wrong with the patient deal with the same rare illnesses that they deal with on the show. But, you see how instead of a small team of doctors finding what is wrong with someone in a few days, many of these people had to wait months to years to find out what is wrong with them after seeing many different doctors and the doctor that finds out what is wrong often has to get help from many diverse people and places ranging from specialist to Google. It also deals with the history of medicine and how technology has changed how doctors diagnose illnesses both in good and bad ways. And, as always in every case it wasn't lupus.
