A second year of clinical tales from the Puswhisperer, Mark Crislip, an infectious disease specialist from Portland, OR. Dr. Crislip kills strep and staph, fights flu, and is always on the lookout for "zebras"—those unusual infections (and sometimes non-infections) that leave all the doctors guessing. Originally intended as a guide for studying for the Boards, these tales have been edited for a lay audience and provide hours of educational entertainment for anyone interested in infectious disease.

Mark Crislip has been practicing Infectious Diseases in Portland, Oregon since 1990. He writes for Medscape, with a popular blog entitled Rubor, Dolor, Calor, Tumor. He is an editor and writer for the Science-Based Medicine blog averaging over a million page views a month. He edited a 12 volume e-book collection of the SBM blog entries, available on Amazon, Nook and iTunes. He produces three highly rated medical podcasts, the Puscast, Gobbet o' Pus and the Quackcast which won the People's Choice Podcast Award for best Health and Fitness podcast three years in a row. He produces the The ID Compendium, a popular Infectious Disease iPhone/Android reference application. He is also the President of the Society for Science-Based Medicine.

Mark is extremely smart and makes lots of puns

Mark is extremely smart and makes lots of puns, some of which are actually enjoyable.
I thought the tales would be a little more silly and in layman's terms, but the main content of this book is not very accessible to a reader with no medical background.
Still worth reading, even though the book description is misleading.

More excellence from the indomitable Dr. Crislip. Highly recommended to all students of infectious disease, particularly those with a sense of humor.

Author is vulgar and political left extremist. Completely blocks his communication attempt. What a shame

Although “entertaining” and “infectious diseases” don’t usually go together, in this book they do.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2016

This book consists of a series of vignettes in the daily life of an infectious diseases specialist. Since I didn’t read Book One, I didn’t know what to expect. But what I got was a humorous view of the adventures of Dr. Mark Crislip, who authored the book so the stories are first person. Although the stories aren’t that technical, my background in medical microbiology was very helpful in my enjoyment of the book. I found Crislip to be very honest about what he was able or unable to figure out about the cases and he readily admits when he was stumped. But what surprised me the most were the “poll results” that appeared at the end of some of the vignettes. Some of them had me laughing out loud. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

I received this book for free via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent, informative, and as always, wonderfully funny. Worth the purchase. Will use this as reference, and a balm after tough ward rounds.
