Doctors have an unfair monopoly on body-based knowledge. Unless you spend years at medical school dissecting cadavers and becoming semi-fluent in Latin, the human body's curious quirks and fascinating flaws remain a mystery. Why do you get diarrhea when you're stressed? What does it mean if your urine froths like beer smells like maple syrup, or attracts ants? Why do astronauts feel like their limbs are missing? How could catching malaria cure you of syphilis? Over a billion health-related internet searches are made every day. Ask Dr Google about your headache or fever and you'll receive a bewildering list of possible diagnoses (invariable topped by brain cancer or a parasitic infection). What Dr Google won't tell you is the infinitely more interesting bit: what's actually going on inside your body that's making you feel sick. In What's Wrong With You? Dr Sarah Holper takes you on a tour through the human body, exploring the remarkable mechanisms behind your medical symptoms: from headache to itch via ringing ears and fluorescent urine Packed with memorable patient encounters, bizarre medical history, cultural tangents and insider doctor secrets, Dr Holper arms you with the knowledge you need to understand why you body reacts to illness the way it does.
