Interesting reading!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
My wife bought a copy of Michael Wilson's book for me and I thought, "Why would I want to read a medical book on arthritis" I lived to eat those words. Michael Wilson's writing is totally reader focused with understandable terms and great illustrations. He comes across as very human and very interested in educating the general public about arthritis and "all those other aches and pains". I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it. I highly recommend it.
Just what the doctor ordered!!

Are you bothered with achy knees and hips that don't always cooperate? Join the club!! Dr. Michael Wilson has taken those topics (and more) that plague so many of us and made them really understandable. I would never have thought that I would be reading a book on "arthritis" with the same enjoyment with which I have read novels; but that's the truth! Dr. Wilson has a wonderful ability to make medical information understandable, interesting, and very relevant for the reader. He interjects humor and wonderful stories from his own life in his writing along with very sage advice. He offers a "down to earth" view of exercise "do's and don't's" that I found to be very refreshing and helpful. I highly recommend this book as a "must read" for everyone.
A Must Have!

I am an orthopedic surgeon in training. I picked up "The Other Midlife Crisis" and read it cover to cover. It was like talking to my patients, explaining their condition in ways they can understand and accept. The book also made me laugh. I guess you can be a doctor and still have a good sense of humor.
It is really, really worth it!!

I picked up this book on arthritis and it was easy to read and understand. I feel like I really understand this subject. My brother-in-law has had four back surgeries and is completely disabled. I know now how to avoid that situation. This book should be read to prevent disasters. It's worth it.
