I've read the "Bad Medicine" book by Christopher Wanjek. It was good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the BA's book. I think it was because the author's tone came across (to me, anyway) as more angry. It's certainly understandable--making stupid medical choices can make you dead. The less dispassionate tone, though, made it seem more of a personal attack (again, that's just my personal feeling). There was a lot of good info in it and a number of woo-woo medical ideas I wasn't familiar with, so it was well-worth the read. Sorry about all of the asides, but I'd hate to dissuade someone from reading a book that they might enjoy. Are there any others out in the series yet?
