Against Medical Advice
Autor James Patterson, Hal Friedmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2009
In
this
inspiring
true
story,
a
child
struggles
with
Tourette's
syndrome-and
overcomes
extraordinary
challenges
with
the
help
of
his
loving
parents.
Cory
Friedman
woke
up
one
morning
when
he
was
five
years
old
with
the
uncontrollable
urge
to
twitch
his
neck.
From
that
day
forward
his
life
became
a
hell
of
irrepressible
tics
and
involuntary
utterances,
and
Cory
embarked
on
an
excruciating
journey
from
specialist
to
specialist
to
discover
the
cause
of
his
disease.
Soon
it
became
unclear
what
tics
were
symptoms
of
his
disease
and
what
were
side
effects
of
the
countless
combinations
of
drugs.
The
only
certainty
is
that
it
kept
getting
worse.
Simply
put:
Cory
Friedman's
life
was
a
living
hell.
Against
Medical
Adviceis
the
true
story
of
Cory
and
his
family's
decades-long
battle
for
survival
in
the
face
of
extraordinary
difficulties
and
a
maddening
medical
establishment.
It
is
a
heart-rending
story
of
struggle
and
triumph
with
a
climax
as
dramatic
as
any
James
Patterson
thriller.
