Here is a link to the Washington Post‘s great monthly Medical Mysteries Series [This link is to the complete list] by Sandra G. Boodman.
I’ll be reading all of them and as I do I’ll list them below with links. But you don’t have to wait for me. Just go to the above list link and explore all the Medical Mysteries.
And I’ll use each Mystery Case as an opportunity to review the diagnosis in the case and to review associated topics.
Everyone, both doctors and patients, will enjoy reading each mystery and solving solving it.
Here are the ones I have reviewed so far.
