message 1: by Jess (new) - added it

Jess | 55 comments I started this right on time during week 18... and am still plowing through it. For a book of this topic and scope, it's surprisingly readable, but as someone who doesn't have a serious interest in medicine, it's tough to get through 600 pages of medical history.

That being said, I really appreciate the approach - he's taking a multifaceted look at something that's often only seen from one side at a time, and it's a topic that needs the space that he gives it.

And I'll finish it...eventually!
