Patient: The True Story of a Rare Illness

This book takes you inside a rare and deeply unpleasant illness. The descriptions are enough to ensure you understand whats going on, theres enough technical detail to assist your understanding and critically, enough of Ben Watts personality for this to be a really human account of serious illness and how it affects the individual and families.A page turner.

This is a painfully honest and extremely well written account of unexpected, unexplained serious illness in a young man and his diagnosis, treatment and recovery. It's very compelling, I read it one sitting. The style is very direct and you feel drawn into the situation. The time spent on hospital wards is very accurately portrayed, especially adjusting to ward life and how your world shrinks, distractions are few, boredom stretches endlessly and one becomes inevitably introspective. This is a very affecting book, it doesn't pull it's punches and is all the more powerful for it. Brilliant. So glad that he has made a good recovery.

Tells the story of a man with Churg Strasse an illness that can affect any part of the body.

Very well written, quite harrowing account of surviving a terrible and very scary illness. Highly recommended read. I have recommended to friends.

Great book about a horrible condition.

The story of a man's illness. Really interesting insight!

It was very easy to read this book in one sitting even though the content is quite disturbing, particularly if you know someone who is suffering from Churg Strauss Syndrome. The author certainly was very lucky to have survived.

Fascinating
