Review: Excellent book on recent medical advancements - I was reading this book on my Kindle Reader while traveling in Japan with two other physicians and their wives. Each morning at breakfast I described another chapter in the book and they they were fascinated. Coincidentally, it was also in the current news about the young boy who smuggled himself in the wheel compartment on a jet flying from San Jose to Honolulu and the chapter on Hypothermia explained his miraculous survival. It was no mystery to us. I hope there will be other books written by Dr. Kevin Fong on Kindle
Review: easy read. As a medical professional I found it ... - Interesting, easy read. As a medical professional I found it somewhat simplistic, but still an informative history of the medical practice we take for granted today. Certainly not too graphic fir the faint of heart!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting Read On The Extremes Of Medicine
*by F***L on July 30, 2020*

From learning that hypothermia could be used to save patients lives to discussing the possibility that man might not be able to survive a trip to Mars and back, this book covers a lot of territory in a very readable and enjoyable way. If you are looking for a very readable medical book, this is for you.
