A witty, patient‑centered look at how medical science has chased a cure for rheumatism for thousands of years.
This edition frames a long history of trials, trials, and more trials, from early remedies to modern ideas. It blends personal experience with sharp observations about doctors, therapies, and the often comic gaps between promise and result. The book aims to illuminate how the patient’s perspective fits into the medical story, without getting lost in jargon or hype.
