So what books have you read that have those diseases in them?
My mentioning the "classics" was, indeed, misleading.
And if my previous remarks may have seemed "high-handed:" I am more than willing to admit to having an abysmal knowledge of sports, popular entertainment, music, handicrafts, automobile mechanics, and firearms.
Since you asked: My mother was an R.N., and already as a pre-teen I at least leafed through all of her old medical textbooks. In later years, I read them - for pleasure.
I am admittedly a "word person," but don't look down on people with strengths and skills in other areas.
Regards,
My answer would be The Merck Manual.
