About this audiobook
Ever wondered what actually happens when a doctor examines you, or how your immune system knows a germ it has met before?
This book explains the human body and the world of medicine for curious teens, without the textbook weight.
Travel through the heart and lungs, brain, digestion, immune system, bones and hormones, each through an everyday situation.
Then see how doctors reason their way to a diagnosis, meet the many people who work in a hospital, learn how medical knowledge is tested, and pick up the skills to spot health misinformation.
If you are thinking about a medical career, the final chapter shows where to start. Clear diagrams and a glossary throughout.
