From Booklist
With the writing help of Nesi, gastroenterologist Wolfe makes this single-illness monograph most engrossing. Its subject is acid reflux, the discharge of stomach acid back into the esophagus and adjacent organs, including lungs and larynx. Its most famous symptom is heartburn, but, Wolfe and other physicians have discovered, it can cause hoarseness and loss of voice, chronic cough and wheezing, the feeling of "lump in the throat," severe chest pains easily mistaken for heart attack, and even, when the acid has sufficiently damaged affected organs, fatally cancerous ulcers. The past 30 years have seen enormous strides in drug treatment of acid reflux, which Wolfe and Nesi reveal as they tell the history of heartburn as a medical phenomenon and the diagnostic mistakes and useless or harmful treatments it has spawned during its long, misleading career. Nowadays, a single drug taken in appropriate dosage can completely alleviate the worst cases of the malady, and a simple combination can end most lesser ones. Good news well told. Ray Olson
