A Bloke's Diagnose-it-yourself Guide to Health (Oxford Medical Publications) Book

Men can be such martyrs to their health, bless 'em. They suffer the most embarrassing symptoms in silence, refusing to admit even to themselves that there may be something wrong, finally visiting the doctor saying: "I don't come here very often, so I have a list ... "(handy tip...don't do this.) and then when they are finally diagnosed they curl up on the sofa with the duvet and the cat for a fortnight, groaning in pain and demanding attention from their nearest and dearest because they truly believe they are "dying".In all seriousness though, men do have a tendency to put off admitting that there may be something wrong, even to themselves let alone to a partner and illnesses can go unchecked with disastrous results. A Bloke's Diagnose it Yourself Guide to Health is a handy little tome that snappily dissects the symptoms of illness and points the hapless man in the right direction by outlining the situations when the symptoms need more attention and the symptoms that can be treated from the first aid kit in the bathroom (there is a difference between a cold and pneumonia, you know, as there is between dandruff and psoriasis.)A sensible, sound approach to health that should take some of the pain out of illnesses--every home that has a man in it should have one the shelf. --Susan HarrisonRead More
