I'm not sure who the target market for this book is. Most people look stuff up on the internet these days. The sort of person who wouldn't think to look their symptoms up on the internet probably wouldn't think to buy a book about symptoms ahead of time, either. And the sort of person who lives off the grid with no internet probably either doesn't trust medical authority, or needs a far more comprehensive home medical guide than this. As best I can tell, the only people who read this are the sort of person who'll read anything that looks amusing (that would be me) and I doubt there are enough of us to really warrant killing trees to put this out in hardcover. Just sayin'.

The hypochondriac's bible. 4 stars for mentioning Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome under the joint and muscle pain possibilities (even if it wasn't totally right)

Do you tend to be a hypochondriac? Do you have medical questions that you're too embarrassed to ask? If so, then this is the book for you. Each chapter is broken up by the part of the body with chapter one being Head and Neck, then drills down from headaches to sore throats. Each symptom is fully explained in a light hearted manner and informs readers on when to take their symptoms seriously.
I read an advance copy and was not compensated.

Of course you shouldn't diagnose yourself but it's a good idea to always suggest diagnosis to your doctor to give them an idea. A comforting and informative book.

Think you're dying? Or that your roommate is? Well, now you can double check. This is really perfect for you or the hypochondriac in your life. Not for major emergencies but at least for letting you know whether or not you need a bandaid or an ER.
