Nice reference (and a great gift)

Bought this as a gift for a hypochondriac friend and it turns out to be something I might purchase for mu=yself as a reference just because of the way it's organized. If you stomach hurts, for example, you can just go to that section and find possible reasons. Very informative.

Recommend for any hypochondriac
by lacey compton (5 out of 5 stars)

As a current germaphobe, hypochondriac I thoroughly enjoy this book. I like the setup of diseases and how its categorized. It's also slightly humorous so it helps to calm down anxiety from hypochondria. Fun book to read or to do research rather then googling.

Humerous and informative

A very funny and educational book. I purchased this for my families "hypochondriac" and she got a kick out of it.

Well written and contains a fair bit of info on a lot of conditions you never knew existed.

If you read this book, you are still alive, Embrace life.
by T Wilds (5 out of 5 stars)

Must be incomplete book, because I am still alive. This for the worry wart who has too much time on hands. But entertaining, particularly when doing diagnosis on another and to trigger the hypochondriac.

Not recommended for a hypochondriac, now I have to worry about more things that can kill me besides the ones I already thought of.

Wouldn't you know that the very first thing I read ...
by whitequeen (4 out of 5 stars)

Wouldn't you know that the very first thing I read about, I actually have! Luckily, it's something that just *seems* as if it'll kill you, but won't actually do so. (I checked with the doctor a month before I bought this book.) I can't wait to find out what this tingling in my left arm and tightness in my jaw is!
