Description
Our yesterdays have determined who we are today, and knowledge of our past has the potential to enhance both our understanding of the present and our predictions of the future. Diagnosing Giants traces the history of medicine through the illnesses of some of the most influential figures of the past.

Yet, the diseases suffered by these figures had profound effects on their livesand their legacies. Each chapter opens with a detailed medical history of the patient. Facts relevant to the historical figures life and legacy are woven into the case summary, and the mystery patients identity is revealed at the conclusion of the case summary. The author then analyzes themedical history, offers a differential diagnosis and a final diagnosis. Where relevant, the potential effects of the subjects medical problems on his or her life and legacy are discussed. Diagnosing Giants is a must-own volume for medical professionals and history buffs alike.
