34 patients. From infancy to old age: what dangers await at each of these stages

The book of Tom Templeton is not about intriguing medical riddles and not about miraculous deliveries of ailments. She is about people who were once his patients and who showed him how fragile human life, what betrayal sometimes performs his own body, how lonely a sick person can be. “34 patients” are 34 different stories seen by the eyes of Dr. Templeton for all the time of his work in various hospitals. He placed them in a chronological sequence: from the younger patient to the eldest, from his first steps in the profession and until the moment when he became an experienced doctor. On the pages of the book, you will meet Wayne, forced to constantly refuse to eat the only son, because he was born with a rare genetic disease. Meet Sonny"s joker, who, due to the pathology of the frontal lobe, has fun without stopping, and absolutely healthy Kevin, who believes that he has an allergy to “almost everything”. Surprise that the trigrants living on the street of Steve and a respectable gentleman named Alistair can be much more in common than they themselves suggest.
