The Complete Manual of Things That Might Kill You: A Guide to Self-Diagnosis for Hypochondriacs
As a hypochondriac, you’ve had to satisfy your need for self-diagnosis with medical reference materials written for the masses until now. Dedicated entirely to your unique perspective on health, this revolutionary book outlines the world’s worst maladies, conveniently organized according to your symptoms (real or imagined). You’re going to die of something–why not choose an ailment that’s rare and hard to pronounce?
What the reviewers say
I had this book out when family was over and everyone was checking it out. Basically, you look up your symptom (headache, whatever) and the book tells you what terrible disease you’re dying from. I don’t understand the reviewer complaining about the medical advice — um, hello, it’s a HUMOR BOOK! And my two sisters are nurses and they thought everything was hilarious. It looks legit to me! (And I watch Grey’s Anatomy and House, so I am clearly an expert.) Seriously, this book is probably used by the writers of those TV shows because just like on the show, the most innocent symptoms indicate the most horrible killer disease ever. Just don’t give it to your hypochondriac elderly aunt or anything. Also beware: My kids use it as a way to get out of school..hey, maybe I should try it for work…”Oh, my ribs hurt, I have costochondritis!”
