Fascinomas -fascinating medical mysteries. A paralyzed teen
recovers overnight. A woman complains her breast implants speak. A
man and his dog become gravely ill at the exact same time. These
strange real-life cases and many more can be found in author and
physician Clifton K. Meador's newest collection, Fascinomas.
Combining the word fascinating with the term for a tumor or growth,
fascinoma is medical slang for an unusually interesting medical
case. These are the extraordinary stories medical professionals
recall forever and pass from one colleague to another in hospital
lounges and hallways. Every medical professional has at least one
fascinoma to tell, and in this collection of bizarre-but-true
stories, Meador retells some of the most memorable. In the vein of
Berton Roueche, the famed medical writer for The New Yorker, the
author of True Medical Detective Stories is back with an all-new
book of complex cases, where medical professionals must often race
against the clock to find clues in the most unusual places.
Fascinomas is an entertaining and informative collection for
physicians, nurses, medical students and those who simply can't get
enough of bizarre clinical cases. Written from the point of view of
an experienced doctor, the stories are crafted in an engaging style
that can be enjoyed by medical professionals and laypeople alike.
More than just interesting tales, however, these real-life
mysteries serve as great examples of the need for doctors to listen
closely to and ask the right questions of their patients, even in
the computer age, when so much information is at their fingertips.
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and you never know
where a crucial piece of evidence will be found by one of the
detectives of the medical world.
The Knight of the Dixie Wilds is a story based on true events as
recorded by Walter E. Taylor and co-authored with K. Meador. A
Texas Reconstruction story that will take you on an adventure in
nature and behaviors of people of that time. Buck Tyler faces many
challenging times as he grows from a boy to a man.
