Study Io Sono Ipocondriaco: Guida Tascabile Alle Orrende Malattie Che Sicuramente Hai Già Picturized By Dennis DiClaudio Available In PDF

humorous book about dangerous diseases with a few good laughs among a lot of actual information.


Took a while to read because digesting all that information took its time, At times a bit gross so maybe not a book for everyone, but I liked the writing style and the humour and I like the gross so a good fit for me.
Okay so I read all three of these books very quickly and wrote my review for bookbefore I glanced at any other reviews.
. . what is wrong with people

Just looking at the titles should give a reader an idea of what the inside will hold.
Obviously were not dealing with a flat, dull litany of facts that youd be lucky to retainof after completing.
No! These are hilarious, the authors comedic and sometimes dry wit is masterful and stylistically made these diseases, phobias and kinks come alive.
And even with this strong sense of comedic effect Dennis Diclaudio still manages to retain respect for these things since they are real ailments and kinks.


I plan on purchasing all three of these for coffee table books as soon as I can, and an extra one of the mental disorder books in particular for my anxiety ridden sister.


So if you hate smart witty dialogue, filled with interesting information that will constantly make you want to shake the person next to you “Did you know!” Just so you can share some of the new facts you just absorbed, then by all means dont read this, this book isnt for you anyway.
The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide, . . by Dennis DiClaudio is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late September,

Whackadoo, outside the scope of House diagnoses, their prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and a story of someone who had the condition at one time with a sense of hammy, stupid stapstick humor.
Author's an asshole that cheers violent attacks on journalists, Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have been wanting to read this book for quite a while and was happy to receive a copy of the newly updated version.
Then I came across Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, which I have had, Yikes! Thankfully that's the only illness in this book that I've had and hopefully will never have any of the others!
This book will make you squirm and feel like bugs or worms are crawling on you and maybe they are! But despite making you squeamish, it takes these illnesses and throws some honest humor in.

First off, this is not a book for the faint of heart, It is, however, the perfect read for those with an offthewall sense of humor,

Mr. DiClaudio has compiled a list of fortyfive of the most outlandish, obscure, and downright nasty diseases that you're likely to ever run across.
Hopefully, on second thought, you'll never run across any of them, but in case you do, if you've read this book you'll at least be prepared for the horrid and totally disgusting ways with which you will suffer.


The diseases are broken up into categories, including Autoimmune, Bacterial, Genetic amp Neurological, Idiopathic, Parasitic, Toxic amp Fungal, and Viral amp Prionic.


Although I found myself laughing hysterically at some of Mr, DiClaudio's observations, I sincerely hope to never find myself on the receiving end of these diseases.
And, truth be told, I can't decide if I'd rather have worms living on my eyeball, having my flesh begin to decay while I'm still alive, or suffering from fatal familial insomnia in which case, I'll never sleep again, and will probably spend my final waking hours wishing I had a disease as simple as worms living on my eyeball or having my flesh decay while I'm still alive.


Overall, a great way to spend a couple of hours, However, if you suspect you suffer from any of these fortyfive diseases, you might want to actually see a doctor.
In this time of pandemic induced paranoia, this book is a perfect gift to remind people of all the other horrible diseases they may already have.
It's comical even in it's seriousness, particularly as the book eliminated any information it deemed "boring" so it's basically has the feel of when you find a bump or a mark and ask Google "Causes for " and you are instantly given a laundry list of worst case scenarios that make you freak out.
This is an entertaining and terrifying romp through the world of awful diseases, I dinged it several, though, because the author is flagrantly sexist in his description of at least two diseases.
Women picking up this book should be aware of that going in it damaged my enjoyment considerably.
If you are truly a hypochondriac this book is not for you, I have become convinced that I will die from one of these horrible and sometimes very rare diseases.
The upside is that the author manages to insert much humor, Especially for those of us who need

to take life or death situations with a side of humor.
: From autoimmune disorders to viral infections, and everything in between, The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have by Dennis DiClaudio covers forty different real medical conditions that are hilariously terrifying.
Each entry comes a short list of symptoms, a diagnosis, a prognosis, and treatment options, In case you don't already have the disease, helpful prevention tips are provided, I was cracking up reading this! I recognised a few, but many of these were new to me.
Highly recommended, both for humour value, and trivia value!

Many thanks to the Netgalley amp Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Fantastic dreadful fun !! Excellent science writing with a great sense of humor

I loved this book.
Dennis Diclaudio writes with a great sense of humor, which, given the subject matter, is amazing.
The book covers many diseases divided by type, It also has a handy index sorted by symptom, But the value of this book isn't in selfdiagnosis, Indeed it should not be used for this purpose, But it is an excellent introduction to pathology, with any science well explained, Even though I was familiar with a lot of the material, DIclaudio made reading about it fun.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in medicine,
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes,
The title is by far the best part, The author could not more plainly be kind of a cocky, unpleasant jerk, I didn't get far and will go no further, This is NOT a book I should read because I think I have everything, . . it's probably why my friend gave it to me, So many horrible diseases that I have ALL the symptoms I'll probably be dead by the time this review is published.


Honestly, it's not really a sit down and read book, its more of a guest bathroom, put on the reading rack book.
Fun to flip through, not always fun to contemplate, Pick it up IF YOU DARE. "Cornu Cutaneum In which you grow a horn, not like a goat, more like a rhinoceros.

If any comedians see your horn and decide to start calling you a goat boy, you can quip back 'Hey asshole, that's Rhino boy to you'.
"

A brilliant, sarcastic, informative and extremely amusing collection of various diseases, its symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, treatment and of notes.
A parodical version to all the doctor's magazine, in a way, with information on diseases you probably didn't probably know existed.


This is probably the only book which I didn't read with empathy to those who have endured the diseases, as controversial as it may sound.
The moment I read the title, I knew I had to take it because it's everything I love: Scientific, Psychological and Humour! It makes you squeamish and for a moment, a hypochondriac too, with all those symptoms.
As disgustingly it is described, diagnosis, prevention and of notes totally hit the top, thanks to the author's sense of humour.
To describe this book in short: You have few symptoms you are worried about it and you Google search it.
The results of the search are what this book contains, You know how it turns out, The only place I have seen the word 'Tumor' more than it is necessary is this book and Google WebMD!

What I really like about the book is that it is quite an eyeopening read to hypochondriacs.
Trust me, if you are a hypochondriac, after reading this book you hypochondria will be miraculously healed! Even you will not believe you have it because of its horrifying details and illustrations.
This is definitely the book anyone and everyone will love, Even if you are triggered by medical and pathological details, the book hits it lightly and with quick and disgusting humour!

This is definitely one of my best reads this year!

Recommended: If you are pursuing in the field of medicine, this book will be the best light and informative read you'll have! And everyone else, grab this book asap!

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group beckerampmayer kids! for providing me with a review copy! Funny and cringey, don't read this is you're squeamish.
Although the misogyny in a few disease descriptions was not very funny, Possibly the grossest thing I've ever read, Excellent. The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide was a bit of a mixed bag for me, It was a random find at the library, and the title gave me a bit of a chuckle, so I grabbed it.
I don't regret reading it, but I would definitely hesitate before picking up another of the author's books.


The book does have its positives, It is informative about many lesser known, extreme medical conditions, It deals with them in a humourous fashion, and several of the jokes are worth a chuckle.
That said, there are times when the jokes take precedent over the facts, which aggravated me I guess I would prefer medical facts with humour over a humour book about medical facts.
Some of the jokes also felt sexist or ableist in tone, which just made me uncomfortable particularly as a woman with chronic illnesses.


If the title appeals to you, go for it, It has enough fun facts to be an okay read for the short time it takes to get through it.
I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it, .
