Description
Eye-opening insights from the infectious diseases front line.
Infectious diseases specialist Frank Bowden sheds light on the everyday diseases that affect most of us (colds, head lice) and the more serious issues that keep us awake at night (antibiotic resistance, the Ebola epidemic). As well as exploring treatments and busting myths, Bowden draws out the basics of epidemiology and medical research to look at the big issues affecting public health. He offers eye-opening insights into infectious disease and general health from a doctor's perspective, doled out with honesty, empathy and a good dose of humour.
