Puswhisperer III

Publisher: Bitingduck Press

A third year of clinical gems from the Puswhisperer, Mark Crislip, an infectious disease specialist from Portland, OR. Clinical pearls, diagnostic dilemmas, and zebras abound in these real-life cases from eight different hospitals in the Portland area. Edited for a lay audience, these tales will make you think twice before eating anything undercooked, turn you off kissing your pets, and make you run not walk to your nearest flu shot clinic. For the experts, the book includes tips on passing the Boards and on what to present at this year's Infectious Diseases Society of America conference. A real in-the-trenches look at infectious disease from a popular blogger and podcaster who mixes a dose of humor (read: terrible microbiology puns) into his stories.
