Patient History (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Patient history" is a medical term describing the method by which doctors gather information about a patient's past and present conditions. Yet, how much of a patient's history do doctors really know, and how much agency do we have in determining our own histories? Patient History is a whimsical exploration of the typically grim world of sickness and death. Woven from pop culture, fairytales, and East-meets-West childhood memories of growing up in Singapore, these fantasies are cotton candy sweet-osteoporosis becomes Singapore's signature Chili Crab, a fistula transfigures into fairy, and organs are commemorated as a theme park.
