If anything can go wrong in the medical world, it will. A little dose of humor for doctors and the patients who fear them. Includes caduceus charm.

Murphy's Law strikes again! From malpractice to measles, Bloch muses on on the fact that anything that can go wrong in the medical world will.

For more than a quarter of a century, Murphy's Law has provided the last word on things going wrong. Positive thinking is all very fine when the world is treating you right, but when things go awry, it's Murphy's Law that comes up with the goods-the pithy revelations and undeniable truths that document our limitless potential for misplaced insight, hopeless wit, and pessimistic wisdom. This special anniversary collection features the best of Murphy's Law--plus new 21st-century entries proving that with advances in technology, even more can go wrong. For example: No matter what goes wrong, there is always somebody who knew it would. Anything is easier to take apart than to put together. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. The less you do, the less can go wrong. Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter since nobody listens.

An innocent accountant, a broken FBI agent, and an emotionless analyst are drawn into a flawed plot that will eliminate the only chance for mankind's survival.

In this fast-paced thriller, packed full of science and intrigue, these engaging characters struggle to survive the attacks of a cult of unknown assailants. Anita, a hard-working accountant is sucked into a dark world of a doomsday cult while searching for her missing brother on the sunny streets of Charleston. Walker, still healing from failures that led to the deaths of four of his agents, must again face the grim reaper. Murphy, the brainy analyst, is informed of the far-off apocalypse and handed the obligation of ensuring that humanity reaches for the stars to avoid extinction on a dying planet.

This book is a synopsis of many medical stories. They include, but are not limited to rude personnel, kind personnel and many of the physical and emotional traumas that a patient and his or her family face during an illness. Illness is enough to deal with on its own, but as many find out the hard way, there can be so much more to contend with. Slow diagnosing, doubtful doctors and harsh criticism from those who are clueless are among some of the ordeals covered. It was difficult for me to live life outside of my chronic illness. My main symptom, or most obvious was fainting. I didn't think much of it at first. I knew it needed to be checked out, but thought it would be under control in little time. The surprises to me were outsiders who actually laughed when I dropped, adults as well as children: the most hurtful was the handful of family and friends who thought I was faking. I can't imagine judging any of them in that way. I hope this book touches the lives of those who read it no matter if you are the care giver or the patient or just an innocent bystander.
