"What do you know about the human body? Even if you are well-versed in anatomy, this book will reveal a few more secrets of the human body, just as it did for me.
As a practicing physician, I found it interesting to read about the clinical cases described by Dr. Francis.
However, this book will be of interest not only to professionals but also to those unfamiliar with medicine, presenting not only unique factual material but also space for reflection on the organism as a whole and man's place in the overall picture of the world."
