Germophobia

SANITIZE THIS!

There is nothing worse than getting sick…except the idea of having to go to the doctor when you get sick. So much can go wrong at the doctor, or the hospital, or the clinic. You could get a flesh-eating virus. Or they could give you the wrong medicine. Or too much medicine. Or decline your insurance. Or the doctor could tell you to eat more vegetables. (The horrors!)

Now Uncle John, the wizard of oddities, brings you Germophobia, a book for the health-obsessed, Purell-slathering, doctor-fearing patient inside all of us. What’s so (darkly) funny about surgical tools being left inside patients, or all the weird diseases you could get? It’s like a car wreck (or an ambulance crash)—you just can’t look away.

All your fears are justified in Germophobia. Read about: doctors who spread deadly infections, doctors who were just pretending to be doctors in the first place, surgeons who removed the wrong part (or too many parts), horrific hospitals, medical mistakes, nasty nurses, and all those microscopic monsters who are hellbent on killing you (or at least on giving you diarrhea).

It’ll make you sick (in a good way).
