The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have
stevencraig avatar reviewed A humerous look at exactly HOW things could be worse on + 2 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


As an honest-to-goodness hypochondriac myself, this book was both terrifying, but more thankfully, humorous. The underlying theme here is that in reality there isn't much one can do to truly avoid the possibility of contracting one of these diseases, but just in case you DID, here's some info you probably should know. Meant as more of an educational comedy book than any sort of self-help guide to what ails you. I enjoyed the author's humor so much that I am going to seek out his other works.
