Unreliable bodies and shifting symptoms are all in a day's work for
a GP. In his years of practising, Gavin Francis has seen it all:
the promising law student trapped under the spell of anorexia; the
bodybuilder whose use of illegal steroids threatens his fertility;
the teenager agonising over the perplexing physical dramas of
puberty; and the surprisingly upbeat woman growing a horn in the
centre of her forehead. In Shapeshifters he draws on his patients'
bodily transformations, both welcome and unwelcome, bringing
together case histories and accounts from the history of medicine,
art, literature, myth and magic to show how the very essence of
being human is change.
