Booklist - 02/01/2021 Mysterious ailments are put under the microscope in the XBooks: Medical series (4 titles), which uses case studies to launch larger discussions of diseases and their treatments, including the roles played by the Center for Disease Control and epidemiologists. Each book opens with a high-interest teaser of the drama to come, followed by four to six smoothly written chapters that relegate any sensationalism to the chapter headings. Flesh Wound follows the rapid decline of a man whose seemingly minor injury turns near-fatal due to a rare case of necrotizing fasciitis. Clean and roomy layouts include a variety of visual elements, from photos of the actual people featured in the stories to illustrated time lines to clearly arranged fact charts. A concluding Q&A with a medical expert gives readers further insight into their profession. An excellent gateway into more in-depth health studies. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
