It's generally a good read with many interesting cases. The chapters are stand alones. There isn't much flow to the book. The editing is a little choppy, but it's not a book that is meant to be read as a novel. A little fluffy at times but a good reminder for anyone in healthcare.
Dr. Ho Ping Kong is single handedly bringing hope back into the practice of medicine.

Absolutely enlightening. I feel if more doctors would treat their patients with the care and knowledge that Dr. Kong has acquired through his years of experience the benefits to medicine and treatment in general would be beneficial to all. My panacea- all medical students should have a copy of this book to read -just to see how diagnostic skills aid in the care and treatment of the patient.
If you're interested in the human body and health this is a book for you! The wording in this was fantastic. Definitely going to recommend to my friends!
