À propos de cet audio
Doctors are more than doctors. They’re detectives who solve mysteries about the human body.
Diagnosing patients is about looking for clues, whether a persistent tickle in the back of the throat or confusion and memory loss. Just like detectives, good doctors sift through information until they arrive at the medical solution that fits best.
Think you have what it takes to keep up with medical detective work? Find out with this second installment of Dr. Roy Benaroch’s thrilling look at medical mysteries from across history. Continuing the excitement of his earlier Audible Original, Medical Mysteries Across History, Pt.2 features cases involving ancient kings and military leaders, beloved philosophers and popular entertainers. You may know who some of these patients are - but you’ve almost certainly never heard their stories told from a doctor’s point of view.
In each instance, you’ll learn about the medicine that was practiced during the patient’s life, and you’ll discover how modern medicine can shed light on the past. You’ll see how every life (and every disease) is a story and that these stories reveal the clues doctors need to make an accurate diagnosis. And you’ll discover that while a lot in medicine has certainly changed, the way doctors approach patients hasn’t changed very much at all.
Think you can guess who these 10 mystery patients are? Pay attention. The medical and historical hints are there and waiting for you.

These medical mysteries are amazing!
What a great series! It’s fun to try to diagnose famous people. Learning to look for the right clues in the patient history and in other places helps arrive at a correct diagnosis and, if possible, treatment. Great narration with proper pronunciation of medical terms. The author obviously took the time to weave wonderful stories which offered up more clues, of red herrings. I like these series so much, I have read almost all of them. Great work to you all.

Educational and Entertaining
I am an MD and a retired Associate Professor of Medicine with the UofA.. I can attest to the quality of this lecture series.
The survey is a little too cursory for a Medical/Healthcare Provider audience, but Case-Based Learning is the paradigm used for training doctors & nurses for a reason: it drives home the utility of admittedly quite dry subject matter like pathophysiology of disease, diagnosis via history/physical examination/tests/imaging, inheritance patterns, and treatment (ie. the technique is telling learners "this stuff isn't just academic - *this* case shows that it actually counts.")
Emory University Adjunct Professor of Medicine/Pediatrics Roy Benaroch continues a History of Medicine course using that model.. compiling health mysteries among historical figures (this time around discussing 10 fascinating cases that are presented considerably better than the first).
Benaroch leads readers/listeners through the diagnostic process quite nicely. He also does a better job considering the debated conjecture in the history of medicine literature - pointing out where theories make sense and where they're deficient.
Another big selling point for this recording is improved presentation:
Dr. Benaroch reads his own material again, but sounds more comfortable as a reader.. Once again delivering admirable diction, cadence, and timbre - but also no longer overenunciating.. and adding some emotiveness that was lacking in Part One. Additionally, the Producers replaced the musical bumpers bracketing the lectures with more professional-sounding interludes.
Perhaps the greatest strength of this 9.5/10 course is that it has unmatched standalone merit - you could easily listen to this collection before Part One, after, or by itself. Dr. Benaroch also sticks to the material in this one.. foregoing the Social Commentary (e.g. on racism/misogyny) that occasionally plagued the first series. I unreservedly recommend this one.
[Note: The discussion of iatrogenic biases using Eleanor Roosevelt's final illness as an object lesson is particularly excellent]

Another great one from Dr. Benaroch
This is the 3rd book I’ve listened to by Dr. Benaroch, he does can excellent job with every series he writes. Very well explained and easy to understand even for people who aren’t physicians. I work in the medical field, I will likely never be a physician but it’s always interesting to learn about how medical treatments have evolved over the years. This book is great for anyone interested in medicine or in history as it mentions some of the great historical figures we all know and love. I won’t tell you who, it’s up to you to figure it out. Don’t worry, at the end of each investigation the name of the patient is revealed.
Highly recommend!
