PRO Health: Translating Medical into Human

Few doctors can explain, clearly and without getting carried away with professional terminology, to a patient far from medicine why that person has a problem. And there’s no time either: the prescription into your hands—and… the next patient! The therapist Georgiy Olegovich Sapego, author of the blog @For patients, fills this gap. Briefly, clearly, vividly, and even with humor, he talks about the most interesting aspects of health, taking into account the latest scientific discoveries. In other words, he translates from medical language into human language. The book is structured so that each chapter becomes a logical continuation of the previous one, adds to it, and sets a new topic for the next. As a result, the reader—step by step, not in fragments—gets a coherent understanding of how our body works, and with real knowledge can prevent many illnesses. The author’s illustrations, without which subscribers can hardly imagine Sapego’s articles, not only help “reinforce the material,” but also lift your mood and fill you with optimism.
